The complete documentation for the PTS is at: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-resources.en.html#s-pkg-tracking-system To best way to experience the PTS E-mail system is to use http://packages.qa.debian.org/ and enter a package, then under Subscription select Advanced Mode. You'll see a form at URL http://packages.qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/pts.cgi (unfortunately, you cannot visit this URL with a GET directly). Since the PTS already does a lot of the work that would need to be implemented in the BTS, why not just enhance the PTS? All that is needed is to accept bug IDs as keywords. When the PTS sends out E-mails concerning this bug for example, anyone with the bts keyword AND those with the 34071 keyword selected will receive the mail. Each page of the BTS should then link to http://packages.qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/pts.cgi with the package name and keyword (being the bugid) already selected. The user can then select more keywords, or just subscribe to the bug traffic. In addition a new tick box "keep already subscribed keywords for this package" should be selected by default. IIRC the behaviour of the PTS web form right now is to remove any keywords not present in a resubscription request. Unsubscribing from bugs can be done using the PTS E-mail interface as explained in the documentation. Any comments on this idea?
