Sorry for not mentioning you, I frankly forgot to, but even Sam
mentioned that :) Thanks for your interest!

Actually I don't think we should put as a requirement the integration
into debbugs. At the very minimum the web bug reporter will need to be
able to format an email and send it, with the additional requirement of
querying the BTS before the submission as reportbug does. All this can
be done as loosely coupled with debbugs as you want.
Of course it would be better to integrate it into debbugs, but why
impose that? Debian is fun even for this: new services spin-off as
unrelatead services, eventually integrated into the "trunk" services.
I'll mock up a proposal for the GSoC then ask for comments from people
like you who expressed interest in this.
Cheers.
