Hello Michael,
This is the general structure I'm proposing:
* TODO Subject <timestamp> :emacs_ver:org_ver:org_module:
:PROPERTIES:
:DEBGUGS_ID: <bug number>
:REPORTER: <Reporter Name>
:CC_EMAIL: <list of emails of interested parties>
:END:
I elaborate the ideas below.

Emacs version ends up as a tag:

An added bonus idea: Gmane has this amazing feature where you can link
to a message using it's message id. So a property like: GMANE_URL would
be awesome.
* TODO ..... :24.3:
:PROPERTIES:
:GMANE_URL: http://mid.gmane.org/877gfqkm9t....@gmail.com
:END:
<2013-08-13 Tue>

It would be cool if you could provide a function that uses browse-url to
direct you to the webpage using DEBGUGS_ID:

* TODO Making epg-context local to *epg* while let-bound! :24.3:org_crypt:
:PROPERTIES:
:DEBGUGS_ID: 15081
:GMANE_URL: http://mid.gmane.org/877gfqkm9t....@gmail.com

As you see above, it would be great if we could simplify the suject and
tag the org-module involved (note hyphens are not allowed, they need to
be transformed to underscore).

Maybe this should go into a property called: LAST_MODIFIED.

And this should finally decide the TODO state. For the moment a
reasonable mapping would be "pending" -> "TODO". But would be good to
have support for "DONE", "WIP", or similar (I'm not familiar with all
the debbug states :-p)

I guess this is how you filter out org-mode bugs from the rest.

So finally I propose the following for this particular bug.
* TODO Making epg-context local to *epg* while let-bound! :24.3:org_crypt:
:PROPERTIES:
:DEBGUGS_ID: 15081
:REPORTER: Thierry Volpiatto <thierry.volpia...@gmail.com>
:GMANE_URL: http://mid.gmane.org/877gfqkm9t....@gmail.com
:END:

However in this example there were no "interested parties". If you take
this (non org-mode) bug as an example:
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=15282>,
the CC_EMAIL property would be: "Eli Zaretskii <e...@gnu.org>, Gregor
Zattler <telegr...@gmx.net>, <hyper...@debian.org>, Paul Eggert
<egg...@cs.ucla.edu>", and all the contributors to bug 15222 (that would
be me :-p, Suvayu Ali <fatkasuvayu+li...@gmail.com>).
What do others think? Is it a good start? Overall this looks very
promising, I am excited :).
Cheers,
