No, it relies on responses via email only (like Debian's bug tracker,
when last I used it).

You simply always reply to gnats-bugs%netbsd.org@localhost, with the PR number in
the email subject, as you've been doing already. (If there are other
parties who aren't tagged in the PR, that's kind of on them to follow
it, IMO.)

There is no way to send any attachments to it, other than as plain text
components of an email (which, yes, Gnats sometimes scrambles) or a
uuencoded archive or what-have-you. (Or, posting them somewhere
external like pastebin.)

(Yes, this is ungainly. I am not a fan of Gnats. You can see a reason
why bsiegert@ suggested a wip account.)
