Forward Bugs Upstream to an Email Address
For products that don't use a bug tracker, we'll add another bug tracker type, Email Address, which can be used to specify an email address where the bug is tracked.
The Email Adress bug tracker will be special cased, since it's not a bug tracker with a web UI, so we can't link to the remote bug. We also need to give the user forwarding the bug the possibility to send an email from within Launchpad. Since the email address or mailing list usually won't be a validated email address, we can't send an email to it automatically, a user has to do it.
