I expect if you set up a web-based interface it won't be a matter of people digging in heels so much as just being indifferent to it. And like most projects the bugs will just accumulate and not get feedback.
And which projects would these be? Oddly enough it might surprise you that the web has really matured.
All kinds of people use it now. You should really check it out. ;) Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake
Incidentally, does it also fix the issue with the database schema where the entire set of comments is stored in a single field of a single record and so when two people comment on a bug at the same time one stomps on the others changes?
