maybe - but for a poc it was much easier to have something that had no
dependency on any modification of the webinfrastructure(all it needed
was an email subscription to the list), you also get some stuff like rss
feeds, XML/CSV aggregation output, a commit log parser (and a GUI for
playing even if you don't use it for anything officially) for free if
you use some existing framework ;)

For a real implemenation based on an existing tool you would probably
modify the bug reporting form to post the bug report to the tracker and
have that one send the report on behalf and with the sender address of
the original reporter, that way the -pgsql-bugs list could exactly stay
as it is now and if you wished to be able to use it as a not-only
bugreport-form triggered tracker you could do that as well.
