Why not. Though it will require some human work to select and incorporate valid
issues for the long term and in a regular basis. This is the main problem that
has to be solved, beyond writing an interface. Indeed, we used to have a google
spreadsheet to report bugs, that was just rotting, see e.g.
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/sage-devel/google$20bug$20report/sage-devel/FvxgKfI9CZU/MhfiZBJQJ3IJ
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/sage-devel/google$20bug$20report/sage-devel/EX4OYOlZqPI/meYYOuV-GXEJ

Note that ask also plays a role of bug reporting, see the confirmed_bug and
fixed_bug tags:

http://ask.sagemath.org/questions/scope:all/sort:activity-desc/tags:confirmed_bug/page:1/
http://ask.sagemath.org/questions/scope:all/sort:activity-desc/tags:fixed_bug/page:1/

It is unfortunately absolutely not automated, but it works pretty well, due to
the fact that some developers get connected frequently.

Ciao,
Thierry
