The manual mentions the two web interfaces in addition to Emacs:

  https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Debbugs-User-Interfaces.html

Do you or would you use them to keep track of pending patches?

Perhaps a CLI taking advantage of mumi’s HTTP interface (or using
Guile-Debbugs) would work better?  Like:

  mumi new          # list new issues
  mumi fetch 1234   # fetch patches of issue #1234
  mumi close 1234
  …

WDYT?

Ludo’.
