So, Intense Debate has a plugin that works/syncs with WordPress comments. Would something like this ever work with bbPress?

A key feature of it is “reply-to-thread by email” which would be killer for bbPress

I’ve been looking into how to make a plugin to bbPress that reads from an email inbox and essentially gives bbPress mailing-list like properties.
