My idea was more about implementing it entirely separately from debbugs
just using an email as the final mechanism for web submission (as you
suggested).
Actually, I was not aware of the soap interface, I was only aware of an
ldap interface. As I said, I'm more proposing it on the "frontend" side
and I'm needing more knowledge on the "backend" side. Questions:
- can you give me a pointer to the details of the SOAP interface?
- assuming the entirely separately implementation I had in mind, do you
have any other additional requirement on how to interact with debbugs
beside mail for submission and SOAP for info retrieval?

Sorry, I posted on d-d just to grasp interested people. I agree that for
discussing architectural/implementation details d-debbugs is the right
place, but I won't do it now; sure I'll point out in the GSoC proposal
that the taker student should discuss there those details. Just let me
know if you think some other important requirements should be put in the
proposal.
Cheers.
