Are Emacs bugs linked to Savannah?

Are Emacs bugs linked to Savannah?

[pwr]

Are Emacs bugs linked to Savannah as "items"?

As in, if a package's bug is reported to debbugs and assigned to me (or I
self-assign it), will it show up in the "my incoming items" page on Savannah
somehow?

Selectively track ELPA package issues submitted to bug-gnu-emacs?

[Paul W. Rankin]

Dear Emacs,

It doesn't appear that a magical connection exists between Emacs' 
debbugs and Savannah, so what is the best way to track bugs submitted to 
bug-gnu-emacs against specific ELPA packages without needing to receive 
the entire list?

Or does this happen automatically given I am listed as the 
author/maintainer of said packages?

No, I don't think there is a good way to do that right now, short of
subscribing to the list and setting up email filters yourself.

Can some effort be put towards changing this for those who have donated 
their work to FSF? Transitioning packages from MELPA to GNU ELPA is 
currently an imbalanced value proposition. Moreover, improving the 
situation would be a tide that lifts all boats.

I see that Savannah already has "items" and apparently a way to assign 
these, so that could be a good option.

I'd previously been subscribed with email filters as suggested, but this 
isn't an (easy) option with the current email.

p.s. I know people on this list love starting debates; this is not an 
invitation for a debate, only an account of my experience. Thanks.

I would like to be able to get emails about bugs submitted to debbugs
against the ada-mode package.

I gather this requires some code on the debbugs server; what is the
process for changing that code?

There is a partly finished upgrade and move to have the debbugs server
code properly version controlled[1]. I meant to get the final push
done last winter; however, Real Life intervened and I was unable to. I
do still intend to work on it, I'm just not entirely sure when I'll be
able to make it happen. If anyone wants to help, that would certainly
be welcome.

Some notes on the current setup:
https://gitlab.com/npostavs/debbugs/wikis/debbugs2-install-notes-org

You can see it running (with an old snapshot of the bug database) at
https://debbugs2p.gnu.org/

Follow the steps on

https://debbugs.gnu.org/Using.html

which is linked from near the top of the d.g.o front page.

No it doesn't.


I see "ada-mode" is already in use as a debbugs package, but since
no-one went through the above steps (as far as I recall), it has no
associated maintainer address.

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=ada-mode


(Perhaps elpa packages should have an elpa- prefix to their package names.
With some effort, perhaps the list of packages and maintainers could be
automatically synced from elpa.gnu.org.)

Thanks, I'll look into this. Since ada-mode already has a savannah home
page, it might make more sense to switch to using their bug tracker.
