what we'd need would be soemthing where a person enters the bug report, it
gets email'd out to -bugs so that developers see it ... if a developer
comments on it, it should go from taht email into the database ... if a
developer fixes it, there should be an easy email mechanism whereby the
developer can close it ...
maybe somethign so simple as those with commit access, who can fix the
bugs, have a passwd that they can include, like majordomo, in their email
to a central 'admin' mailbox that they can send a mesage to like:
passwd <passwd> close #1
