Hi. Some more comments :

I'm thinking about doing things like statistical analysis of threads in some of the comments, easily collecting patches, etc. The precise contents may not be that useful to store in memory unless for very specific needs such as parsing of some headers as you explained bellow. However, there, I would expect to handle more or less these attachments like mailing-lists messages or emails, so I hope there are already python libs available (or mailman or other tools' code which could be reused). > Similarly, why you just have a fulltext?

In terms of ontologies, for instance, if you have a look at http://www.ifi.uzh.ch/ddis/evo/ which includes BOM as a model for bugs, I think they recently evolved the model so that comments are subclasses of SIOC ontology which relates for online forum, lists and communities. That's the kind of OO modeling that could be adopted here too : mixing bug-specific code and mbox / mailing-lists archives specific code. > Also, but possibly as a more long term goal, it would be really nice > to provide some (heuristic and optional) parsing of each message in > the bug log, especially the first one.
