[PLUG] email->changelog sort of application

Greetings folks,

I'd like to set up a changelog system for our network devices, one
that's quick and simple.

Something like when one of our engineers makes a change to one of our
routers, then that engineer would send an email:

---
To: changelog at integratelecom.com
Subject: seattle-7206-2

Upgraded to IOS 12.1.17 -- Stafford
---

The changelog system would then strip off the mail headers, and append
the body to the changelog file for seattle-7206-2 (based on the
Subject:).

I'd also want to send a "Subject: send seattle-7206-2", and have it reply
by email with that changelog as the body.

I'll want to have the changelogs to also be viewable by http, but that
should be pretty trivial.

I'm planning on throwing this together with procmail, formmail, and a
bit of perl, but does anyone know of a package that would do this
without a lot of work?

Thanks,
--Stafford
