Hi,

          Record that you have claimed a bug (e.g. for a bug
squashing party).

          If no claim is specified, the environment variable DEBEMAIL
          or EMAIL (checked in that order) is used.

The [<claim>] should read [<email>] and the text, in both
descriptions, should read:

If no <email> is specified, the environment variable DEBEMAIL or EMAIL
(checked in that order) is used.

There's no technical requirement for the claim to be an e-mail address; it's simply conventional. This may seem slightly picky (and probably is :-) but certainly in the past it was not uncommon to see bugs tagged with simply usernames or tags such as "aba-pseudo-bug"; I'm not sure how prevalent either practice is now.

(fwiw http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/[EMAIL PROTECTED] contains a list of usertags at the top)

Regards,

Adam
