Debian does use a bug tracker, its default interface is email. And it is convenient. Lucas Nussbaum, current Debian Project Leader, posted a few days ago:
"debbugs is the piece of software behind the Debian Bugs Tracking System (BTS). It is also used by the GNU project. Despite often being perceived as old-style, it features several unique features, such as the tracking of the status of bugs in each version and branch of a package ), or the ability to perform all interactions via email, making it very easy to work offline or in poorly-connected environments."

The last part is a killer feature here - just queue those reports in your local mail queue until you got off the plane!
