Package: bugs.debian.org,devscripts People are of the impression that "owner" has a functional effect, and is not just an annotation. It seems pretty likely that this is a result of the BTS documentation saying so; not only the semi-official /usr/bin/bts helper command, but the online bugs.d.o documentation itself.
bugs.debian.org (http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control) reads: |Sets address to be the "owner" of #bugnumber. The owner of a bug claims |responsibility for fixing it and will receive all mail regarding it. |This is useful to share out work in cases where a package has a team of |maintainers. devscripts (bts.1) reads: | The owner of a bug accepts the responsibility of dealing with it, and | will receive all of the email corresponding to the bug instead of the | usual maintainer. However, Don said 8 months ago in #327608 that this isn't true: |Owner is just a means of indicating who is working on a bug. It looks like the original patch (#139936) was just an annotation one, but Colin was going to add the functional bits. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
