Eventually, the cygwin project will be using bugzilla. I don't know now this package interrelates with bugzilla but since you haven't received any votes for this package, I think it's premature to be "announcing" it, in any event. cgf The first version was a pure Emacs solution. Someone expressed that not all were familiar with it, so I added command line version. which uses user preferred $VISUAL editor. Here are some pictures, in case they express the idea better than the words in previous mail. a) the command line version (using bash + $VISUAL + ssmtp): http://tierra.dyndns.org:81/cygwin/cygbug/cygbug-cmd-line-beg.jpg http://tierra.dyndns.org:81/cygwin/cygbug/cygbug-cmd-line-end.jpg b) the Emacs interface, if Emacs is installed: http://tierra.dyndns.org:81/cygwin/cygbug/cygbug-emacs.jpg It can be used to deliver messages to upstream developers concerning cygwin related bugs. It can also be used to send patches to other Cugwin developer (I just sent one to ssmtp maintainer). The WNPP could help handling package maintenance by offering it for grabs, abandoning package, taking package manitenance ...)
