I agree that "enter bugs if not fixed immediately" would give results, but it still takes work. Who wants to do this work? You could just see it as an additional tool. As a start why not just ask the Savannah Hackers to turn on the bug tracker for Emacs? Then people who want to use it could file bugs there, and you could keep your own record in FOR-RELEASE. This much would be easy to do. Would this result in having some bugs in the bug tracker and other bugs reported on bug-gnu-emacs? If we did not systematically enter the emailed bug reports into the bug tracker, would confusion result?
