And here is, really, the big motivation that makes a lot of sense.  I've seen 
other BTS integrate with email (some even fairly successfully, I'm told), but 
starting from the PoV that it's a mailing list and extending it... great idea.

And looking at some of the other replies, I suspect they missed this point. 
Keeping it on the list means people don't _need_ a special client to be involved.

Count me in!  This could be the excuse^H^H^H^H^H^H project I've been looking for 
to get some time in with PyGlade.

Of course, someone handy with writing Thunderbird extensions could certainly 
make themselves popular here...
