Seems like the bug tracking system needs to be re-evaluated. Perhaps Bugzilla
can be modified to better serve the needs of kernel developers.

There might be alternatives, JIRA (http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/)
for example. I am sure there are others.

Finally, I have over 7 years experience writing various web based systems
(using WebObjects, J2EE and others). I would be quite willing to volunteer my
spare time and experience if this community decides that a custom written
solution (one that would handle email bug submissions/resolutions :) is in
order.

Kind regards,
