Of the little bit I've seen of debbugs I think I really want is to have
a mailbox folder with just the patches and bugs in it (finally set this
up yesterday) and to have the threads automatically marked as read after
the bug has been closed. I don't know anything about usertags to make
use of them, so it's not something I've ever missed.

Since I've now split the mailboxes I have less than 300 unread messages
from guix-devel and almost 7000 unread in my shared guix-patches/bugs-guix
mailbox. I would gladly trade that mailbox for something in the terminal
that connected to debbugs directly for the autoupdating of closed bugs
and would still allow me to pipe the patches themselves to apply them to
the git repo.

It might be what I'm looking for is a minimal emacs config that is just
a frontend to debbugs and lets me use all my normal tools (vim, msmtp,
etc.) for everything else.
