Please note that Trac does not support e-mail operation out of the box. This is something that we need to add (there is a plugin that maybe does the job at https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/email2trac ) Another possibility is Roundup ( http://roundup.sourceforge.net/ ) : Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. In any case, we need to add code for parsing reports created with report-emacs-bug and add them to the bug tracker, or adapt report-emacs-bug to the formats that the bug tracker understands. The second option is not as convenient, as it would affect only future Emacs releases. -- Oscar
