That noone has done this yet is a sign for me that we don't actually need it so urgently. I think the distribution has more pressing things to solve.
Back in 2011 I did write a front-end to the BTS in an attempt to address the UX problem. I called it DebGTD. It's long dead now but some notes, screenshots etc. are at <https://jmtd.net/software/debgtd/>.
I'd approach the problem very differently today, but as a starting point building on top of the existing BTS as a back-end (as Guix have done) seems sound to me.
The other big issue with the BTS, mentioned elsewhere, is the batch/delay element, which would not be addressed by an alternative UX on top, and would require other clever ideas.
