Exactly. This is not supported by Savane, so this fact automatically
rules out Savannah as a bug tracker for Emacs.
I wonder why nobody mentioned GNATS, the GNU Bug Tracking System?
From the description:

There was a running instance once upon a time at bugs.gnu.org, but I
don't know what happened. AFAIK the FreeBSD folks use it as a tracker
for the whole distribution, so it can't be that bad.
I guess that the most reasonable course of action is: Those that
promote the idea of a bug tracking system make a research of all
available solutions (debbugs, Trac with the email support plugin,
GNATS, the GCC Bugzilla, etc.) and prepare a comparison list with
advantages/disatvantages, so that Emacs developers can discuss based
on it and eventually decide which BTS is the most appropriate one.
