Adding meta-data management to the current gnus.gnus-bug is one useful
improvement I can see.  Like, e.g., making it possible to enter the
summary buffer and list all "open" bugs, and be able to "close" them
somehow.  I'm not sure how to best implement this though.  With IMAP
it would have been simple, by using "gnus-bug-open", "gnus-bug-fixed",
"gnus-bug-wontfix" etc flags on the messages.

Web based bug tracker systems are just a time sink.  The bugs are
tracked, but less frequently fixed because developers cannot
prioritize.  In mail, if a problem is serious many people will report
it many times until it is fixed.  So it has a built-in flexible
adaptive priority system which most web BTS's lack.
