When the maintainer think the bug reporter is not to be annoyed, then he should mail nnn-silent or whatever, because that is the exception. Not the reverse. This is a major (if not _THE_ major) annoyance with the BTS. FWIW this is a long discussed issue, and the BTS maintainers do not share this opinion (that mailing nnnn@ should also mail the submitter) so we're basically stuck. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madco...@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
