I think at the time, working similarly to the old bug-gnu-emacs
mailing-list was a clear desire.
And I think it's probably still the case that we'd want our bug-tracker to
be usable via email for those who want to (tho it's probably OK if only
the main functions are available via this UI).

Yes, I agree that this is the crucial point. That's my motivation for
developing BugIt (https://gitlab.com/monnier/bugit).
I haven't had much time to devote to it lately, tho, so it's stuck at
the stage of "proof of concept" right now.

I've never seen a bug-tracker do anything really useful with those
(other than what you can get by embedding URLs in the bug
description/discussion), so I'd be interested to hear more (tho it could
be difficult to retro-fit it into BugIt since BugIt is designed to be
fundamentally an issue/ticket-tracking system not necessarily related to
"code" or to any kind of VCS repository).

You mean to (re)assign bugs to particular persons and things like that?

Right. In BugIt I decided to skip the "etc." part, tho.

How do you "update a commit"? What does "resolve a comment" mean?

Do you have a recommendation of something you consider well-designed
(not necessarily for Emacs's use, so I could look at it)?
