If you change this, it's a (minor) incompatible change with the way a standard debbugs installation works. It's probably doable, but also this is something that would make it harder for non-Emacs packages to use debbugs.gnu.org. > Or at least use a `user' that's less error-prone, like > > user emacs > usertags 1234 calendar I think that would be an easy hack to debbugs, yes.

Here is an example that returns a short search result, so as not to overwhelm the server: http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?exclude=tags%3Awontfix;package=gnus > IIUC this doesn't work on the current debbugs but only on the future > debbugs.gnu.org, right? I think usertags don't work on the current server, yes. (By default, debbugs fails to create the necessary directory to store the usertags, so just silently fails to store them. I had to make the directories by hand first.)
