My proposal would save developers time in managing bug reports. I have lost track of how much time I have wasted because I made a mistake in an email to [email protected], only to have to try and fix up the mess through the same interface. This time wasted would have been better spent on fixing problems with my package. -- Brian May <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
