Well in fact debbugs was rewritten from scratch not long ago. They added lots
of new features and presumably made the code less evil. I suppose that's a big
presumption though :)
I agree that it would be a good match though. There's an email interface for
everything and a number of debian packages use a mailing list as the primary
contact which is how I imagine Postgres developers would like things set up.
