title 448493 reportbug: Use 'mailto:' URL from Bugs field as submit address severity 448493 wishlist tags 448493 + moreinfo thanks
The Bugs field in a 'debian/control' file doesn't necessarily have
anything to do with email. As defined in the 'deb-control(5)' manpage:
Bugs: <url>
The url of the bug tracking system for this package. The
current used format is <bts_type>://<bts_address>, like
debbugs://bugs.debian.org.
Presumably, then, this bug report is asking that "mailto" be treated
by 'reportbug' as a "bts_type" value, and that 'reportbug' should
parse the email address from such a URL as the bug submission email
address.
Since the 'deb-control(5)' manpage makes no mention of it, is there
any better specification of this interpretation of the Bugs field?
