This is not about the Savannah bug tracker, but as mentioned briefly
elsewhere in this thread the Debian bug tracker can be controlled by
email. I'm a Debian user and have submitted a couple of bugs that way.

Bugs can fully controlled (opened, closed, merged, etc.) using email.
The control messages look like this (I picked bug #100000 as a random
example):

  reassign 100000 xlibs
  merge 100000 96562
  retitle 100000 xlibs: [xkb] Another alt keys not -> meta keysyms report
  thanks

These commands are included in the email body and sent to
control@bugs.debian.org. All comments and changes to a bug is available
online

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=100000

and the submitter and package maintainers are sent email copies of the
changes.

I'm sure there are people here who can describe the Debian bug tracker
much better than I can, but I hope the above gives the idea. Much more
information can be found here:

  http://www.debian.org/Bugs/

People how know the bug tracker better can probably also comment on
whether or not it can be used outside Debian at all, or if it is too
heavily tied to the Debian infrastructure to be useful elsewhere.
