So let me explain, we use the BTS soap interface to retrieve a list of bugs tagged "help" which are not closed yet. Then we assign those bugs to source packages and display a message "heh you have X bugs tagged help" and give a link of the form https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=ffmpeg&tag=help&pend-exc=done In this report, the above linked showed nothing while the status of the bug 704070 was this (dropping irrelevant fiels): found libav/6:0.8.5-1 => pending pending package ffmpeg keywords help wontfix severity minor source ffmpeg, ffmpeg-debian, ffmpeg-free, libav tags help wontfix found_versions libav/6:0.8.5-1 > > Well, the BTS is inconsistent then.
