I did post one week ago to the list and mentioned that 73 source packages were affected, and that I'll file bugs unless someone objects: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.legal/27498/focus=27568 Mass-filing bugs regarding this has also been discussed before: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.legal/25993/focus=99847 If the common understanding is that the Subject: should include "Mass bug filing", perhaps that could be codified in the Developer's Reference, to avoid similar problems in the future. I'd agree that I should have manually checked all files before submitting the reports, though. /Simon PS. For some reason, both posts ended up in the g.l.d.d.legal hierarchy on gmane, but they were posted to debian-devel, which the pages themselves also indicate. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
