FTR, integrating with the BTS might not be a good idea as long as multiple
issues are reported on the same email, otherwise it would be impossible to
tell what version fixed what.
And even then, the version information from the BTS should only be used as a
hint, and the fix verified before marking a version as fixed on the
tracker.
