I have a Mailman Handler that forwards *from* the Mailman list *to*
the tracker.  It's trivial and safe (ie, can't affect other lists),
thanks to Mailman.

As a matter of policy, I use the presence of References and/or
In-Reply-To headers, rather than contents of the subject line, to
identify replies.

To implement, you need to get the Mailman admin (site admin, can't do
it through the web) to add the Handler to the *list-specific*
pipeline(s).  Please get the relevant person to contact me directly.
