The key points is how people interact with the tool; as long as the
interaction is basically "one way" from email to the tracking tool
(either debbugs or something hand rolled) it should work as long as it
provides value. The main output of the tool is to do thing like
making qualified searches of bug fixes by version easier and perhaps
supporting release note generation.

Personally I think a hand-rolled tool is a better choice for this
project given that the requirements are so specific; it can be thought
of as an extension of the commit fest framework.
