And basic things like (un)subscribing to a bug, subcomponents (with
subscriptions), not having to CC every participant which is not already
on the CC list of the mail you are responding to, etc.

Extra points if the new system does not require to read a manual for
closing, reopening or categorizing bugs. Oh, and dispense with the
"archiving" thing.

For now let's put aside cross-references between commits, bugs, patch
submissions and C.I. runs as something too modern to bear.

It is already possible on debbugs.gnu.org, for some sufficiently broad
definition of "possible".
