Hi,
often, I need to know the bug number immediatelly after submitting,
where waiting for it is annoying.
For example:
* I filed a wishlist bug for which I am preparing a patch. I need to
know the bug number for the Closes: tag in the changelog.
* I filed a bug due to a running discussion, and I would like to reply
„Good point, I filed a bug, please see http://bugs.debian.org/nnnn
It could be solved by a webpage (and a SOAP-API for transparent
reportbug support) where you can get a „reserved“ bugnumber (which would
be one of the next numbers to be assigned, I guess). This number then
has to be included in the bug submission, via a pseudo-header, e.g.
Reserved-Bugnumber: 12345
Reserverations would only be valid for a short period of time (one hour
or a bit more, to account for mail submission trouble).
Maybe bugs numbers ending on 000 are omitted, to not harm the bug number
guessing contests :-)
Thanks,
Joachim
