Not really -- we can't really quit debbugs because it has special
features to track how we do versions and releases, and we are highly
reliant on those.  I think that if that wasn't the case, there's a good
chance we'd be using something else by now.

I am someone who, like you, prefers as much as possible to be actual
e-mail messages, but debbugs is just not that good!
