Thank you, Anush (for *both* your e-mails).
Indeed, after my fellow ESS core members have urged ourselves to
become modern and move our code/etc to github,
they later also urged me to close down the
ess-b...@r-project.org address (which formally was a mailing
list like this one, ess-help).
Unfortunately, we have not adapted the
(defun ess-submit-bug-report ... )
emacs lisp code.
I don't think that one can send an e-mail to something
@github.com to automatically open an issue (well, hopefully not,
you'd at least need a github account and some authentication .. !).
I have now changed this: M-x ess-submit-bug-report now
- would send the report to ess-help@.. (i.e., _this_ list),
- but at the same time recommend that the bug reporter *instead* opens a GH
issue.
It shows like this, now (after my push to the github ess master
branch):
-------------------------------------------------------------
This bug report will be sent to the ESS _help_ email list
>>> _INSTEAD_ we strongly recommend you open an issue for this
at https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS/issues .
If you still prefer to use the ESS help email, press C-c C-c to send your
message.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for your reports -- helping to make ESS better!
Best regards,
Martin
