Purely web-based systems are non-starter. They're not perfect, but they don't have to be a non-starter. After all, you're not using *any* bug tracker right now. So if some Emacs developers start using a web-based system, and you decide not to, we're all still better off in absolute terms than we are now, right? All I'm asking is that, if you're not going to set up an email-accessible bug tracking system yourself, that you not object if someone else sets up a purely web-based one. You don't have to use it, though I hope you would at least try it. Many, many people use purely web-based bug trackers, and think that they are better off than with no bug tracker at all. -Karl
