Agreed.  I think we've had consensus on that for a long time:

:-)

As far as I can tell, everyone is fine with our bug-tracking system having more 
browser-accessible features -- particularly the features many developers are 
accustomed to from other trackers -- as long as the system *also* has the 
email-manipulation capabilities that Debbugs currently has (and on which some 
of Emacs's most active & expert maintainers depend).
