Most trackers allow a mail gateway in at least one-way, e.g. to this
list. The problem is that some people start answering on the mail and
not on the tracker's interface, so part of the bug discussion gets
lost. But there are even some systems that are completely two-way like
rt (I think). bugzilla has extensions that allows two-way mail
reporting, too.

A BTS in dovecot sounds nice, but before diving into the
implementation I'd check around and see what there is to simply use
w/o developing. I think your specs could already be met by some
existing tracking system properly tuned to your liking.

If you need assistance for a "conventional" tracking system like
bugzilla or trac's ticket system I can help. I can also help out with
hosting if maintaining mysql or similar is not wanted on dovecot.org's
main server.
