Although I understand your motivation, when I see "clone of X in language Y" I think that this is something being hyped only because of the choice of language and not because of the project's actual merits. In the case of GitBucket the most important advantage is its easy installation, especially when compared to the more well known GitLab (that I never dared install after reading through the installation instructions).
