There are commercial products that do this kind of thing already, but if you are not opposed to rolling your own: Make it so a process can act upon messages received at [email protected] (done via .forward, .maildelivery, .qmail, etc..., or a special account that downloads email via POP3---easiest is on the MTA because no login information is required---either way you want to make sure your script is written securely). Then have it submit a new ticket to the Fossil repository for the project (they aren't using Fossil[1] yet?) and email out the link to the Fossil ticket identifier to recipient list for that project. If an existing ticket identifier (UUID/SHA1 hash for the ticket) is included in the email, then simply update the ticket and email out the link to the update. [1] http://www.fossil-scm.org/ > p.s.
