Package: bugs.debian.org Severity: normal Mail that is sent to <bugnumber>[EMAIL PROTECTED] is received by the BTS and filed in the web page, but the message is not forwarded to the maintainer.
I think this is generally a bad idea. If upstream knows a bit about the Debian BTS, they will keep the bugnumber address in the Cc or To, but many won't know the difference the -forwarded makes. But then the Debian maintainer won't notice that upstream has answered unless they check the BTS in the web interface. Even if the person who started using nnn-forwarded stays in the Cc, other maintainers won't notice the conversation. This happens both when the others are simply subscribed to the package in the PTS, and when the real maintainer address is a mailing list, or similar forms of collaborative maintainance I don't see why mail to nnn-forwarded needs any special treatment; I suggest to simply handle it as any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Frank -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (99, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
