Sounds like you are asking for the same thing that the go program
provides for Go. Except that go is also the package manager and build
manager. It enforces convention over configuration and thereby becomes
simple -- as long as package providers follow the rules, but then that
is the whole point of convention over configuration. The go command
understands GitHub, BitBucket and Launchpad so fails to discriminate
over choice of DVCS.
