One thing to note is that the referenced wiki page is over a year old.
And that many more things have been said on email lists than are
actually in that page.
But as one note - I don't believe you can drive redmine completely
from email, which is certainly a requirement that has been discussed,
but is not entirely listed on that page.

FWIW, I think the closest thing we've found so far would be debbugs -
which IIRC doesn't have any kind of reasonable database backend, which
would be a strange choice for a project like ours :) And makes many
things harder...
