It's also less discoverable for less experienced users; the web page at 
least says "email your comments to ...". When using the debbugs package, 
the user must be familiar with Gnus key bindings to send a reply (as 
well as make sure to use the "wide-reply" variety).

I mean, it handy when you know all that, but simply moving it to the 
core won't make the bug tracker suddenly more accessible to the majority 
of the users.

That's nice, but does it offer a lot of advantage over using the search 
in the web interface, or M-x debbugs-gnu-search?
