Well, when reporting a bug, the user always receives a mail from the BTS. This mail could also be used as a confirmation message for this and future bug reports: if the user replies, he will automatically be subscribed to all bugs "he" reports. The next bug reports may be forged, but the user would have done the confirmation step, so couldn't complain. Or better, the reply to the confirmation message could contain a private key that could be used by reportbug to insert a X- header identifying the author of the next bug reports. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
