Not 100% the same, but there's this thing called Bugzilla Inbound Email 
Interface: https://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.4/en/html/api/email_in.html 
which allows creating or modifying bugs from email (as long as the email 
belongs to a valid account).

(Redhat's installation apparently checks against verified PGP keys too, 
but the basic one doesn't).

It's not immediately apparent whether this script allows closing bugs, 
but it's Perl. Given some familiarity, shouldn't be too hard to extend.

In-Reply-To should also work 
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31314).
