Hmm. What if the user changed email address and does not reply? We are not interested in fixing the bug anymore? If we are going to close bugs because the email from the submitter is no longer valid, we don't need a package name change like "emacs23 -> emacs24" for that, we could close every bug which is old enough with a message saying "We are closing this bug to check that your email is still valid. Please reopen if it is". Perhaps we need to do something about packages having too many open bugs. I don't know. But please don't use package renames as an excuse for doing it wrong. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
