Even without special mode a plain text file is the most convenient
way to edit data and to perform arbitrary Emacs operations on them.

I think there is nothing wrong with the fact that only Emacs
developers will be able to fill bug reports. So no web interface
is really needed.

That's exactly how it might work: developers read gnu-emacs-bugs,
create new bug entries in the text file and commit them to CVS.
And you can track changes in the text file with all the usual
features of CVS.

Apart from the Ee categorizing manager, I think that some other
Emacs packages can perform these operations on text files.
AFAIK, at least Gnus should be able to read a text file in the
mail-like format and to treat it as a mail group with bug and TODO
entries as messages. There are even many possibilities of tighter
integration with its email functionality.
