Summary:  mail interface

Original Submission:  It would be easier for busy and/or lazy contributors if 
there was a mail interface to the bug tracker, patch manager, support manager, 
and task list.

The simpler thing would be to allow sending of followup comments by mail to a 
specific address.

There could be a global address for all the Savannah mail interface and the 
target could be inferred by the "Subject:" of the mail, based on the "Subject" 
line of notification mails. An alternative implementation would use a different 
mail address like <address@hidden> or <address@hidden>.

Extra features would be to allow all operations to be done my mail, but that 
would probably require a command language and GPG-based authentification.

It seems that the Debian BTS use a different address for each bug number. Here 
is the original message from our Debian maintainer:

>> As much as I like that fact that texmacs now has a
real bug tracking system, I also have to say that using
a web interface to reply to bugs is extremely
inconvenient. Is there a way to reply to a bug *by
mail*, such that you can just cc to the bugnaumber on
the bug tracking system (as it is the case with the
Debian BTS) ? <<
