Thanks for pointing this out again. This seems like the best approach: * it allows for the common case expressed by package maintainers in this discussion: “I want to communicate with the bug submitter and keep a record in the bug report, using a single ‘To’ address and not needing to know anything about specific options the submitter might have chosen.” * it allows low-interest bug report traffic to go *only* to the bug report (at <n...@bugs.debian.org>, just like now). The submitter, like anyone else, can opt in or out of this traffic. * it requires no specific action from the submitter beyond the act of submitting a bug report at all. * it requires that we (package maintainers) get into the habit of using <nnn-submit...@bugs.debian.org> for the common case of discussion with the submitter, which has been independently suggested by many in this discussion as an acceptable compromise that isn't particularly onerous. -- \ “When I was a little kid we had a sand box.
