Excellent! So long everybody agrees there is a problem then it is only
a matter of time before we find a solution. ;-)

xmonad + vimium is my recommendation ;-)
Though if you are an emacs guy I really don't know if vimium will
suite you. Not sure if there is a emacs-like web interfaces aside from
using a web browser from within emacs.

I'm trying to find a web page describing the features and requirements
of debbugs. Is just the source the best place to look?

Reviewboard does have a nice and complete REST API:
    * http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/webapi/

While it may not already have an emacs interface I bet one could be
constructed without trouble.
   * http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/http-emacs/

Which is an interesting project idea actually.. Hm. Maybe I'll try
this as a way to learn elisp ;-)
