These things work by the desire of people to actually use it. I think we
have to try and make an effort to place all new bugs in the system so
that this works, perhaps redirecting address@hidden to debbugs.
One concern I have though is wiki spam. See for example
http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=304
If we use address@hidden as the gateway address it will be filtered,
which seems to me to be a good thing.
