Agreed. It would be nice to have a mail server command `resurrect', or similar, that would bring a dead bug back to life (if it were found not to be dead, or whatever; several reasons were listed above). This would also be some way to producing some kind of automated list of bugs fixed in each release of Debian; people could visit a list somewhere showing them precisely which bugs in which packages had been fixed between their version of Debian and unstable. -- Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ( http://www.fluff.org/chris )
