I guess that a ticket in trac is a DB entry. If so, the trick is essentially to re-style an incoming email (after some sanity check for content which could also be done on the GRASS site) into a SQL statement and add this to the trac DB. Since everything is organized around the trac ticket ID, it's "just": - the extraction of the ticket ID from the email subject (throw email away if not found) - the extraction of the mail body as text - insert into the DB. It might be sufficient to pick one of the scripts from http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracImport and modify appropriately to accept email instead of, say, bugzilla input.
