While a web-based interface may be nice, I think that where debian's bug reporting excels is in the 'reportbug' program. It's not just a program that sends emails to a single address, but it provides a good guide through the bug-reporting process, namely encouraging you to check that the bug is not already raised, checking that the version of the package you're reporting against isn't out of date and also collecting useful information for the developers (changed configuration, usually). Some of that, a web based solution just can't do (as easily). -- Darac Marjal
