It's probably not difficult to allow commenting from the web. On the
bug pages, we can just insert a "mailto" link after each comment, with
the appropriate address and subject set up.
I'm a leery of getting us a full-fledged user-registration+web-forms
type solution. We currently have a well-defined pathway for bug
information, which works pretty well (e.g. it catches spam mostly
correctly), and it would be nice not to deviate too much from it.
