Personally, I'd be surprised if auto-submitted tickets proved useful at all. I would expect significant numbers of duplicates, invalid bugs, or bug reports for stale ports trees. I imagine that before too long people would stop looking at the automatic submissions, and they might even deter users from bothering to manually submit reports. On the other hand, automatically gathering up relevant information (system configurations, failure logs, etc) to attach to a report sounds quite handy. Maybe it would help to direct the user to a list of existing tickets that theirs might be duplicating? The existing trac report of open tickets against the same port would do nicely. I think I remember Ubuntu doing something similar for new ticket submissions. Dan -- Dan R. K.
