Sounds good, tho IIUC debbugs already has a notion of "pending" as a bug state, so maybe we should use another word, such as "postpone". > Glen Morris's suggestion above attaches a specific version to the tag > (possibly in a non-standard fashion).

That's a risk, indeed. We could use a script to un-postpone all bugs whenever the new branch is opened. OTOH, we've used a different approach in the past: create a new branch `pending' and install patches there. Stefan
