We actually already have this functionality, as the BTS uses procmail. > There are few of them, some of them are trolls, some of them are just > bug machines, but it is tiresome to handle useless bugreports with no > or little info, when the more appropriate forum would be debian-user > (or sometimes /dev/null). These happen all the time; the best method is to close them and refer them to -user, and suggest that they work with -user to identify their bug, and file a good one. If it continues to be a problem, and they are unwilling or unable to fix their bugs, contact ow...@bugs.debian.org with examples. Finally, I strongly suggest adding a bug script for you package to report additional information that will help you triage out badly filed bugs. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Nothing is as inevitable as a mistake whose time has come. -- Tussman's Law -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
