Comment:

 Don't mean to spam but I think there is still something of use in this
 ticket, so I'm reopening.

 TracNotification currently works quite well for receiving information
 about tickets. Perhaps there needs to support changeset notifications,
 too, but that's another ticket.

 What I see as missing and it's a much longer term goal is having mailing
 list emails accessible as first-class objects in Trac. Trac would then
 cover '''and link''' all major forms of communication I have with co-
 developers : changelogs, wiki, tickets, and emails.

 (I won't go the next step and suggest chat & irc integration...yet.)

 I'm also not quite sure of the best way of doing this. Perhaps an
 abstraction layer over something like
 [http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/site.html mailman] similar to the
 subversion backend, or simply having mailing list messages sent to some
 trac-mailman at ... address which then get parsed and saved in the db
 backend.
