Is this really a problem? Casual users could just use the Bugzilla =
interface, and experienced users spitting out bug reports should be able =
to install a port.

send-pr does too, right? It may be able to cache the report (I haven't =
checked), but a Python send-pr could do that, too.

Does send-pr really need to stay in base? It could be a port, and users =
could just install that port.

Implementing a JSON HTTPS client in bourne shell seems, well, painful. =
But maybe I could write a Python script to process emails received at =
FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org and shepherd them into Bugzilla? Then =
only there MX would need Python.
