The last sentence of the top section is: "The report then gets sent to debian.org and there enters the" First, this is incomplete. Second, it is wrong as far as it goes. flea(1) doesn't send anything to debian.org. Also, it's not that useful to suggest people send bugs to mutt-users, since most people that frequest this list aren't developers. mutt -v requests bug reports go to mutt-dev, and that's where they should go. And while you need to be subscribed to the lists to post to them normally, other legitimate mails (especially bug reports) will make it through the moderators. It's not necessary to tell people they have to subscribe before they can even report a bug. I see bugs posted to comp.mail.mutt get forwarded to mutt-dev periodically, but I have no idea what developers actively monitor that newsgroup or how many of the reports make it to mutt-dev. In any case, people really should just use flea if they want to get a tracked resolution/not fall through the cracks.
