Hi Zack,

It was me that mentioned about the web submission in platform. I would
like to co-mentor the project and/or any other proposal I've made
there. I also prefer if the student can integrate this feature into
debbugs and not inject the bug report through any other way. To avoid
spam, debbugs can send a mail to the submitter that then need to reply
the confirmation message, so it needs a queue limit, message timeout
and stuff like that. Thoughts?
