We should also adjust to the fact that, according to Karsten, GNUmed has
at the moment < 10 users.

With such a low number of users, it is not even unthinkable to request
them to either register at LP in order to send back reports or have them
GPG-setup ready in order that the application can send gpg-signed
bug-report to bug tracker.

I'm for it 'cause LP's tracker offer both web & email interfaces and has
additional features which we already discussed here so I won't beat the
dead horse :-)

However, I'm not the boss to decide...just offering proposals.
