Attachments have a lot of extra issues, though, and would be a massive
ammount of work. You'd need to move at least some of attachment.cgi into a
.pm to share with post_bug (for validation), plus the UI probably won't 
look the best, either. A lot of stuff relies on having a bug_id already, 
although since we wouldn't have to check for obsolete attachments, or 
canedit perms, that may be avoidable.

You'd also have to clean up processmail :)
