Hi,

Debbugs is a GNU ELPA package. As such, an ordinary bug report for Emacs
is preferred.

Contacting me as the author isn't wrong; I'm forwarding your message in
order to get it registered as Emacs bug.

Best regards, Michael.

Michael Albinus,

Thank you for providing and maintaining the ‘debbugs’ package.

   After searching the Info manuals for ‘debbugs’ and
‘debbugs-ug’ for instructions on where or how to report a
problem with ‘debbugs’ and not finding any information, I am
writing to your email address as the only contact
information that I could find (via ‘list-packages’ for ‘debbugs’).

   The problem that I am reporting below is occurring with
Emacs version 29.3 and debbugs 0.40.  Here are the steps to
reproduce this problem:

1. Enter the command ‘debbugs-gnu-bugs’:

   M-x debbugs-gnu-bugs RET

2. At the prompt, enter a random bug number:

   Bug numbers (default -10): 123 RET

3. The *Bugs* buffer is displayed with messages for the
   corresponding bug number.  Type RET to run the command
   ‘debbugs-gnu-select-report’ for one of the messages.

   The buffer *ephemeral:bug#123* is displayed, where "123"
   is whichever bug number you chose.

4. Type q to run the command ‘gnus-summary-exit’.
   ‘debbugs’ returns to the *Bugs* buffer

5. Type q to run the command ‘quit-window’.

   A buffer named *Group* remains.

   If you repeat the steps above, but skip step 3 (that is, do
   not select a report), then ‘q’ exits debbugs and does not
   leave behind a stray *Group* buffer.

   It appears that ‘debbugs-gnu-select-report’ creates a
   *Group* buffer, but neglects to delete it when
   ‘gnus-summary-exit’ is run.
