They can't. But they certainly do get a lot of them. I made an effort to follow the Debian bugs for XEmacs for almost a year, but it's sort of like checking your spam folder for false positives. There's some gold there, but not enough to make it worthwhile. Many of their bugs have to do with packaging, or worse with patches that they apply to fit things into their standard package organization, and occasionally to fix bugs -- the latter often backports of fixes already in upstream trunk. > Also this is the only way to get feedback from Python people who > are not registered at Debian tracker.

For use, in the end it did pretty much nothing for XEmacs or Debian; that's why I stopped. *They* were pretty good about forwarding relevant bugs upstream, but very little came from my efforts -- and not because I wasn't diligent for those months, but because there just wasn't that much of any relevance left after their forwards. The situation here would be worse, because AIUI you propose to collect those bugs automaticly: somebody would have to close all the irrelevant bugs. _______________________________________________ Tracker-discuss mailing list Tracker-discuss@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-discuss
