Your first pass needs to have a simple mail and web based ssystem for
developers to at least close bugs. The CC idea is probably fine. You might
even want to put an X-header in the mail message, then for each bugs list
message automatically generate a footer with a web link to close the bug,
or some such - a bit like the TIPs we get all the time. This way, a
developer can go to any message relating to the bug, click on the link &
close it. This should also send off a message to the list etc.

Also, to make the jobs of the volunteers easier, it would be good for each
bug details page sho show a list of bugs mailing list trafic relating to
the bug, sorted by inverse date order (or, better, sub-threads). Then we
can look in the most recent two or three to check the status...
