Automatically filing bug reports when new issues are added to the security tracker. At the moment there's a script that generates a template but then it has to be manually edited and then piped to some MUA. I'd like to get rid of some of its parts and just hand the template over to reportbug (and in the specific case of auto-filing, avoiding all interactivity). > > So, this one is a request to add an option that really makes reportbug > > non- interactive and files the bug report. > > mh, is this a meta-bug to fix all the other reports you filed? Not really, it was more a request to add an option (say --non-interactive), as --print and --template don't do quite what I'm requesting: being able to pass all the bug report information to reportbug so that it just puts it together and files it on the BTS. The other bug reports are related. For instance, this bug could probably be fixed by adding another pseudo-ui that doesn't interact with the user and, instead, uses the default values for each prompt. If there's no default value, then it is an error and it aborts the whole thing. Just an idea.
