You may be missing one of the primary strengths of roundup: the ability
to carry out bug discussions (nearly) entirely by email.

Sure you can. As soon as you respond by email, you get added to the
nosy list of the issue, which means you'll also get all follow-ups.

No no no. Some people use the web interface, some use the email
interface. I'd have to perform exact counting to find out which
one is the majority, however, both are used significantly (my guess
is that committers prefer email; bug submitters use the web interface
because they don't expect email responses to work).

Did you ask for that specifically because I said it would be difficult
to provide?
