It appears it would probably go on this line from 
/bb-templates/post.php, if it helps the email you are going to send:

<div class="poststuff">Posted: <?php bb_post_time(); ?> <a href="<?php post_anchor_link(); ?>">#</a> <?php post_ip_link(); ?> <?php post_edit_link(); ?> <?php post_delete_link(); ?></div>

It would be a relatively simple addition - all you'd need is an email 
with a link to the post sent to this list, I assume, (or another list 
set up for the purpose) from a subscribed account.

And you should be able to add a ticket from here: 
http://bbpress.automattic.com/newticket

Unless you've tried that and it didn't work.

And, can I suggest a sticky on the main support page to the codex 
article re: Using The Support Forums. Or including it in the search 
sticky already there, since that's what I read first when I began my 
ill-fated excursion into contributing?

Much warmth,

Murray
