First off, you do not need to be subscribed to bug-automake in order to post there. We have a habit of Cc:ing the author (and rest of people already in Cc:) when replying, so non-subscribers can follow the discussion. We don't always get this completely right, and people replying via web interfaces a la gmane can't easily follow this, but usually it works OK. I glanced over the debbugs documentation at debbugs.gnu.org now, but couldn't find a place that said something about subscribing to individual bugs.

It's not too high traffic though. Cheers, Ralf
