Actually, I quite like debbugs. It is a bug system which doesn't force
one to use a web browser for its normal operation, and allows this
normal operation with a minimum of shackles and rules. For me, it means
I'm not continually forced to switch back and forth between text work
and the GUI. I prefer debbugs to bugzilla, for example.

No. It's just an unforeseen feature which hasn't yet been implemented.
