That would be dreadful. This is a fundamentally e-mail-based system, and
it's an absolute requirement to be able to contact bug submitters and

that tweaked the web interface a bit, but I wouldn't want to do anything
more than some HTML-encoding.

We are not short of bug reports about this problem.
