I haven't heard of it being applied this way, but Request Tracker would
probably actually be pretty good at this.
Playing into the web vs. nntp comments from later in the thread, one of
the aspects of RT that I like the most is that people can interact with it
via posts to the web interface, via email to the system, or through a CLI.

It uses PostgreSQL or MySQL as the standard data store, and needs about
half of CPAN to bootstrap itself. Works nice once you get it up & running
though.

That & it's nice to see someone making a living by writing & maintaining a
solid open source project, as RT's author has managed to do. Not that that
was one of your selection criteria or anything :)
