I thought about using chat clients (IRC, twisted.words or the like) for that purpose, so that...
- all error "producers" can just send messages to an chat server
- all interested users just start their chat client
- different workflows (= different interested people) could just use different channels ("rooms")
- someone who will handle a problem could just type "I'll handle that", avoiding several people jumping without knowing of each other
- people who aren't at work don't get flooded with error mails (like we have it today)

Perhaps one must enhance a chat software to handle special messages in a special way.
