The problem with the -submitter@ mail alias is that it does not get changed in the forward, so that when a submitter hits 'reply' in his MUA, he will get his own response, but the person asking for follow-up information in the first place doesn't get to see that data. I understand why header mangling is a bad thing in general, and am not suggesting that this be implemented; but as bug submitters are generally people who are less knowledgeable about the BTS than are package maintainers, it usually is easier to just Cc the submitter on a question than it is to use -submitter (and deal with misdirected replies afterward). -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
