Could this search be made a bit smarter/more tolerant? It would be much nicer if I could search for my last name and get a list of all reports submitted by "Mosberger" (it'd be OK to only search the From: header). Also, it appears searching for "submitter email" only searches for the _original_ submitter (not for any followups)? That seems to explain why I couldn't find my evolution bug report & patch (see next paragraph) and just seems incredibly broken. OK, I now was able to find my bug-report/patch for evolution: it's bug number #198660 and my patch was a follow-up to Dann Frazier's original report. That bug is 194 (!) days old. Does this mean my patch will be overlooked? >> Maybe my frustration is not with the bug-tracking system but with >> the fact that my reports are ignored, despite containing patches?

Thanks for that URL. I was looking for a way to reassign the bug, but didn't know this URL (and I didn't find a clickedy-way of reassigning the bug).

OK, lets see what happens. It _would_ be nice if I could to submit patches/bug-reports for packages which I'm not familiar with via the Debian bug tracking system and be assurred that they problems will get taken care of in a timely manner. --david
