My proposal would save developers time in managing bug reports. I have lost track of how much time I have wasted because I made a mistake in an email to cont...@bugs.debian.org, only to have to try and fix up the mess through the same interface. This time wasted would have been better spent on fixing problems with my package. -- Brian May <br...@microcomaustralia.com.au> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
