Sounds superficially like a giant security hole / spam gateway. What
kind of integration are we talking about?

If the false positives go down significantly, we wouldn't need
interested users to "report" version bumps - you could automate that
all the way, and publish links to the bugs already reported.
But couldn't we more simply and securely implement publishing a
hyperlink from euscan's pages to the bugs.g.o form that fills out some
of the required information in advance? That way it's everybody's
personal bugzilla accounts that are responsible for the spam, and we
might more easily find duplicates.
Speaking of duplicates, the way subsequent version bump requests for
subsequent versions (in different SLOTs, mind you) are usually treated
now is that the later bugs are marked as duplicates of the former and
that the former bug's Summary is updated to show the currently best
version(s). If we're going to stick to that, we *definitely* need a way
to catch out duplicates.
