Hi,
Posting bugs to Savane through a mail interface is currently not possible.
The main blockers are:
- handling spam
- respecting posting privileges (while a mail address can be easily faked)
For the 2nd point we might offer to disable posting privileges when
enabling a mail interface - that could simplify the problem.
There's a 3rd blocker though:
- clean-up the code
I'm working on that atm.
Suggestions welcome :)
