Gnatsweb is not by default meant to support submission of follow-ups 
directly. It is mainly meant to be a tool to be used internally by 
support organizations, and the standard way for "customers" to submit 
follow-ups to a GNATS report is by e-mail. That is why there is a "send 
e-mail to interested parties" link provided on the "View PR" page. 
Still, you can tweak GNATS and Gnatsweb to include a kind of followup 
mechanism by using the Append to Audit-Trail field recipe in Appendix E 
of the manual, but you should definitely ask yourself if you want to 
provide Edit access to everyone who might want to submit a follow-up.
