Realistically, no.

Patches are always welcomed, but I do not know if anyone is interested in 
hacking on the current php code to add such a feature.

There is an option to attach files, but they will not be displayed inline.
Example:
   https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?41009
   http://debbugs.gnu.org/19094

Another possibility is to work on DebBugs, adding a feature to show (some) 
attachments inline.

I noticed google provides some tools to export the issues as a file.
Perhaps there could be a way to take their output, and import it into savannah 
(generating the proper structures and items in the database).
I'm guessing this will not be trivial, but if there's interest in working on 
that, I'll can assist from the Savannah side.
