Yeah, I just meant that it's rather unusual to be preparing uploads to places other than unstable. [That said, if enough people came forward who needed this feature, and had used usertags enough to make it clear that it'd be worth the effort in implementing, I'd be glad to reconsider.] > i'm a bit hesitant towards the idea of usertags, but i'd be willing > to give it a shot... is there a way to query for bugs that don't > have a certain usertag? Yeah. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=foo;user=...@baz.com;exclude=tags:pending-testing is supposed to work, but doesn't currently.
