I don't know about ``awful'' (you didn't say what was awful about it), but at least as far as email gateway, the GNU Make project has it set up and running: every bug report gets gatewayed into a mailing list, and so does any comment filed with a bug report. My only gripe is that attached files (patches) do not show in the emailed reflections except as URLs, so one need to go to a Web browser to see them.
