Sigh.
Martin, you are correct. For expedience, given that bug-buddy
currently operates by sending email and has no idea how to send a bug
report otherwise, we have all been assuming that bug-buddy will
continue to submit bug reports using email as the transport, and thus
that bugzilla will need an email interface.
It is, of course, possible for bug-buddy to continue to use email
while encoding the bug report in some cryptic or obnoxious format, so
that users cannot easily use the email interface to bugzilla by hand.
But as someone who has, for GNOME and Debian, taken the time to write
good bug reports (yes, better than "it crashed" from
"root localhost"), I object to you writing off this ability off hand.
