The bug tracker component of Launchpad (aka Malone) is heavily influenced by
debbugs, and under active and rapid development.

https://launchpad.net/products/pgsql/+bugs

Its designed to allow tracking of bugs both in the 'upstream' sourcecode,
forks and commercial varients, and in the packages distributed by OS
vendors.

Developers hang out in #launchpad on freenode.net

Current email interface documentation for Malone is on our wiki at

We use it internally the way you describe.
