However it turns out we currently support that.If by "support", you mean we don't do any verification of what the "forwarded" string is (and neither does the BTS), then yes we support it. I wouldn't claim that, though. It's probably better to just use wording similar to how the BTS explains it. address should generally be a URI, or possibly an email address. Using a URI where possible allows tools to query a remote bug tracking system (such as bugzilla) for a bug's status. Essentially, "address" can be arbitrary text, but common convention is for it to be an email address or link. Cheers, James
I suppose at some point in the future the bugs server might change its behaviour. So one could argue that everything is already documented with this line in the bts man page:
"For full details about the commands, see the BTS documentation. <https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control>"
I don't see any particular reason to single out the forwarded command for extra documentation.
