org-submit-bug-report sends an email to the org-mode mailing list. It
turns out, that if you attach a file and later display that message on
gmane, as I do in order to keep my email traffic in moderate numbers,
then gmane might block that attachment.
I do not see your attachment on news.gmane.io as well, but it is a rare
problem. Mostly attachments are received correctly. Moreover, a part of
your message is truncated. I am unsure whether there is some limit for
message size or parser was confused by excessive white spaces (unsure
whether the message was fully conformant). Anyway, size of "current
state" part tells that it is unlikely *minimal* example that you tested
with "emacs -Q". Even the part received by gmane has size of almost 300k.
Now GNU emacs has a bug tracker what can be accessed via debbugs-org and
there this problem does not appear.
The org mailing list does have a similar bug tracker which is a bit of
problem with such a workflow.
Attachment is available on
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87a6j02qf0....@mat.ucm.es/
so I do not see any problem. Likely nobody explicitly confirmed your
bug, so it did not appear on https://updates.orgmode.org/ On the other
hand, a patch appeared quickly enough, so reasons to complain are
unclear for me.
Of course an alternative would be to CC the bug report to the GNU emacs
list since org mode is also in the GNU emacs tree, but I am not sure
whether this is a good idea.
I am unsure to which list you are going to send a copy. Emacs-orgmode is
hosted on gnu.org just as other emacs lists. Besides lists.gnu.org it is
archived on public inbox instances and these archives were able to parse
your message. For issues filed through debbugs.gnu.org latency is often
higher that for ones sent directly to this list.
Are there evidences that it was not a rare case when an attachments from
a messages generated by org-submit-bug-report was lost by gmane and
change of workflow is really required?
