I wasn't very clear, there. Of course users need web forms, and they will manipulate the database directly. But why can't we have VCS updating, too? This will allow RMS and others to work offline, a very desirable thing.A VCS-based solution would be more complicated than necessary. Easierjust to write a w3m-based client that pulls a copy of the entire bug database out of the tracker.
Just a detail and nothing to discuss now: w3m is not available everywhere. Maybe the url libraries in Emacs can be used though.
