Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

Once in a while someone submits an email to [email protected] where the
status of multiple bugs is changed in one go. An reply with the Subject
starting with "Processed:" is sent to the submitter of that email and
CC'ed to the package owners of all the bugs touched by the control
email. When a lot of bugs are touched, it is hard to figure out for
someone who is Cc'ed which of the changes pertain to his/her own
packages. It would be helpful if, for each change listed in the reply
email, the owner of the affected package is also mentioned. For example:

> Processing commands for [email protected]:
> 
> > tags 796636 + sid stretch
> Bug #796636 [oss4-base] oss4-base: Has init script in runlevel S but no 
> matching service file
> Added tag(s) stretch and sid.

Could be changed to:

> Processing commands for [email protected]:
> 
> > tags 796636 + sid stretch
> Bug #796636 [oss4-base] oss4-base: Has init script in runlevel S but no 
> matching service file
> Owner of oss4-base is Debian OSS4 Maintainers 
> <[email protected]>.
> Added tag(s) stretch and sid.

This way it is easier to search through the email for relevant
information.

Alternatively, tailor each CC to the recipients, so that they only see
the changes that are relevant to their bugs.
