For my SourceForge projects (SableVM/SableCC) I solved the problem by 
creating -bugs and -patches mailing lists, and putting the email address 
of the mailing list in the appropriate "notification" fields on the 
admin pages.  Works like a charm; anybody can decide to monitor new 
bugs/patches as they want (as they can do for CVS -commits).

Maybe GNU Classpath could do the same (making sure these mailing-lists 
are closed to submissions by other than the administration software, 
please!)
