As I've been against web-based bug-trackers before I'd like to present an idea which, imho, is a good compromise. I'm afraid that the number of false bug-reports will increase dramatically with the introduction of such a bug-tracker, eating up time of the volunteers. Also, as I mentioned, I really dislike using web-based tools. If we had such a secretary who's not only familiar with the bugtracker but also familiar enough with git and it's development organization, he/she could work with the system, filter out the noise and mail real bugs or well-thought-through feature-requests to this mailing-list (with a link back to the bugtracker) with the full text of the bug and maybe his/her oppinion about it. But maybe that's just duplication of work, in your eyes.
