Would it be possible to use it as the default address for each and every package? - how can I manage the email address used as the maintainer of a particular package? I see I can change the owner of a bug, but I can't see how to manipulate the maintainer of a package. - I see I can "create" a package as a side effect of reassigning a bug to some inexistent package. What about deleting a package or merging it with another one? - As Richard mentioned, we would like/need to forward all bug-reports sent to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org and emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org to submit@emacsbugs. But since these two mailing-lists are also used currently for discussions, we would only want to forward those email whose subject doesn't start with "Re:". The "Package" should always just be "Emacs" and the "Version" should ideally be extracted from the subject (where it should appear in the form: "Subject: ; ") if present. Can you arrange for that to happen? I can try to arrange and do it here, tho it's going to be a bit fragile (deliver to a special mailbox, then run a cronjob that reads this mailbox, then make sure that the cronjob's Kerberos credentials are regularly refreshed, ... :-( do I hate Kerberos?). Can you arrange to do it directly on your end? -- Stefan
