I reported a bug a while back (I think) from my mwd@cert.org address
that deals with C++11 enumeration class indentation. I reported it via
c-submit-bug-report.
Example of bad behavior:
enum class foo : int {
A,
B,
C
};
This message is only partially about this problem, though. My real
question is whether `M-x c-submit-bug-report' is still a valid way to
report bugs for cc-mode. It sends to bug-cc-mode@gnu.org. It might
make sense to change this to send to the gnu debbugs list instead, with
an appropriate cc-mode tag.

Sorry, I should have acknwledged that some while ago. It's going to be a
tricky one to tackle, since it overturns the notion of a type being just
a type.

Yes, it is.

Right at the moment, I don't think this would be a good idea. CC Mode is
also upstream from XEmacs, and bug reports come from that quarter, too.
It is convenient to be able to filter a mailbox for mails addressed to
*cc-mode*. Mail to bug-gnu-emacs is much easier to lose in the sheer
volume of postings.

I think you may have misunderstood the suggestion.
If you change c-submit-bug-report to send mail to
submit@debbugs.gnu.org, with an "X-Debbugs-Package: cc-mode" header,
then all those reports will still end up on the bug-cc-mode list, not
the bug-gnu-emacs list (ie, submit@debbugs will act like an alias for
bug-cc-mode). But they will get entered into the tracker and get bug
numbers. So this change would actually make it _less_ easier to lose
cc-mode bugs.
This is what Gnus does, for example, and they have the same XEmacs
issues as you do. It seems to be working fine for them.

That may be the case.

The header "X-Debbugs-Package:" isn't mentioned in
.../admin/notes/bugtracker. Can you point me at any documentation for
it?

OK. This would involve amending `reporter-submit-bug-report'. I'll look
at this.

I added it specifically for Gnus bug reporting.
It functions exactly the same as the Package: pseudo-header.
Likewise with X-Debbugs-Version.
That's about all there is to say. :)
You can use "Package:" in the first line of the body for an identical
effect, but then you have to rely on users not deleting it, or adding
any body text before it.

`reporter-submit-bug-report' doesn't seem amenable to easy amendation.
The function where the mail headers get inserted into the mail buffer is
the result of "(get mail-user-agent 'composefunc)". At this stage, we're
deep inside the Emacs mail functionality.
I don't think it's worthwhile making such a large change just to get
debbugs error numbers onto CC Mode bug reports. But if somebody else
were to make this change, I'm sure CC Mode could use it. Patches
welcome. ;-)

It seems easy enough. It looks like just need to add
(save-excursion
(or (mail-position-on-field "X-Debbugs-Package")
(insert "cc-mode")))
To the lambda you are already passing as the last argument you pass to
`reporter-submit-bug-report' in `c-submit-bug-report'.
