We should be clear that the referenced bug report proposes being able to
submit *email* to bugs.debian.org via http. As an alternative transport
system it may have advantages for some people in some cirumstances, port
25 being blocked, for example. So that could be regarded as a good option
but it does not involve anything like web forms, scripts, HTML5 etc. In
other words, it would be business as usual for the 'reportbug system'.
