Perhaps Bugzilla can be modified to better serve the needs of kernel developers. There might be alternatives, JIRA (http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/) for example. I am sure there are others. Finally, I have over 7 years experience writing various web based systems (using WebObjects, J2EE and others). I would be quite willing to volunteer my spare time and experience if this community decides that a custom written solution (one that would handle email bug submissions/resolutions :) is in order.
