Obviously you think the two lists are different because you persist in forwarding bug reports from the bug list to the devel list. This is annoying me no end, and is the main reason I am in favour of merging the two. IMO, it is much easier if all information relating to a bug is in a single thread, never mind on a single list. Secondarily, there are those who report bugs direct to devel anyway. I propose making emacs-pretest-bug an alias for emacs-devel in a week or so, if there are no objections in that time. I don't know if it's worth adding a [Bug] tag to messages that are forwarded in this way? Leaving M-x report-emacs-bug alone will make it easier to change back in the future, if needed.
