I'm just wondering: is using a command-line bug editor actually a good idea? Seems like the perfect way to stay out of touch with how normal people experience your software.

Stolen from ditz:

- create a simple website form for bug reports, which emails to the project mailing list, where all discussion should happen anyways

- let a bot scan the mailing list for bug reports and commit them, wherever suited

Why should all discussion happen on the mailing list?
Why shouldn't it?
As long as its easy to hack up a script to parse the output of the discussion, what difference does it really make where the discussion happens?
