Hrm, I didn't think that this was an attempt to replace Bugzilla, only 
make it a slight bit easier to manage.  I fail to see how this 
email-gateway thing will make things more difficult for the engineer.  
It's mostly a way to make things easier for the end-user to file the 
bug.  Perhaps I'm not looking at the picture big enough, but isn't this 
just a method to get the initial information into the bugzilla system, 
and afterwhich the user/developer can use the web interface for 
anything else necessary?
