[Savannah-help-public] [sr #106712] accepting follow-ups by email

Follow-up Comment #3, sr #106712 (project administration):

I second this wishlist request -- the web-based trackers is something I
dislike in Savannah.  I have the feeling that the implementation would be far
from trivial.

FTR, debbugs has no authentication.  Everyone can send messages and can
manipulate the control bot.  Although scary at first glance, this has worked
well for many years.  There is spam, of course, and spam mesages are manually
deleted from the database when users report them.  Bugs are archived in 28
days after they are fixed, and then all mail to the bug is rejected (everyone
can "unarchive" a bug with a control message, though).

If doable, GPG-signed messages would be less of a nuisance than filling the
web forms.  I guess that it won't be automatically usable for most of the
users (as they'll have to register their GPG key), but that's OK.
