Currently for the tech-c...@packages.debian.org user, it's set to

It was just something that I was using to track the issues as chair and
to organize them so other people could see what the CTTE was working on
at a glance. Feel free to adjust or not use as makes sense.

That's correct.

Yeah, that's #415935; needs to get fixed, but it's a bit complicated,
because the on-disk format is significantly different from what you
e-mail control@.

Personally, I think my choice in the mostest-superlative-computer wars
has to be the HP-48 series of calculators.  They'll run almost
anything.  And if they can't, while I'll just plug a Linux box into
the serial port and load up the HP-48 VT-100 emulator.
