I can't object to different viewers of list content. It's archived in many
places already, and perhaps those interfaces could filter for bugs or feature
requests. I think there are potential issues though with trying to add any form
of web submission.

 - Who sets up and maintains this new web interface?

 - Where is it hosted?

 - Does this add additional time and effort for the project maintainers?

 - Does this conflict with or supersede the mailing list, thus causing
   maintainers to have to maintain two parallel environments?

While it may sound easy to add, and I understand you may prefer a web interface,
it's a volunteer run project and email is very low effort, low maintenance, and
universally accessible.
