This is one of the things that really impressed me about the Debian bugs system. While it includes a web interface as well, it's primary mechanism of control is via e-mail. I haven't actually used it, but our LUG got a presentation on it a couple of months ago and I was very impressed. A few things I seem to recall: Submitting a bug/patch can be as simple as sending a plain text message without any special markup. Special name:value information can be provided if known (releases it's related to, etc)... All attributes can be changed, bugs/patches can be merged or split. Mailing "12345-submitter" (or the like) will send e-mail to the person who submitted but 12345. There are other aliases like that as well (mail people assigned to work on it, the automated system, etc). The Debian bug system is available at: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ While I'm (not suprisingly) interested in roundup because it's in Python, I've been impressed with the demo of the Debian system.
