I think the angle of this suggestion is to approach things from the
perspective of trying to automate more according to how people are
currently working instead of shoehorning an existing solution. It seems
that most folks on -hackers prefer email based systems. The proposals
sounds like it would not change anything much for people who choose to
ignore the web interface and as such it has some appeal to it.
