Would be nice also to translate existing mails in mailing list into bug
reports, but I guess it's not that horrible if it has to be copy&pasted
and another mail about that bug then appears.

Also I'd rather not require users to register into the BTS at all to add
new bugs. Just writing the bug subject, description and giving an email
address should be enough.

Also from people not registered to the bug tracker? What about
creating/preserving Message-ID / References headers so that the comments
in one bug also show up as a single thread in the mailing list?

If the above two things could be made to work, I guess we could finally
have a bug tracker. :)
