Package: reportbug Version: 3.8 Severity: wishlist As member of the Debian QA Group I try to think of ways to improve the overall quality of Debian. One way is to have more contributors for each package... and to get external people involved I encourage them to subscribe to the PTS for the packages that they care about.
People submitting bug reports are usually people caring about a package so I think we should try to catch their attention and to propose them to subscribe to the PTS of the package on which they're submitting a bug report. To avoid asking for contributors on packages which do not need help, reportbug could use the stats from the following file: http://master.debian.org/~hertzog/pts/count.txt Source packages not listed there have no PTS subscribers. The figures indicates how many people are subscribed to the PTS of each package. If the number is below 4, then the package needs more external contributors and reportbug should try to catch the attention of someone submitting a bug on the indicated package. Subscribing to the PTS can be done by mailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "subscribe <srcpkg>" in the body. The user will then receive a confirmation mail. You could also point him to http://packages.qa.debian.org/<srcpkg> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
