Wrong - there is no such email interface on bugs.kde.org, and the wizard uses SQL directly.

We have an email interface to answer to bugs, close them, etc., but when I wrote that
part I removed the original bugzilla "submit bugs by mail" because this used to be abused
(by people and by spammers) to create useless bug reports.

I also don't think we want one BR per missing whatsthis.
Better decide on a person, team, or mailing-list, that should get those mails.
