Yes it looks like Bugzilla is far superior. I know that this has also been suggested before, and I'm trying not to go round in circles, but I notice now that GCC use their mailing list gcc-bugs for their Bugzilla bug-tracking system. If we set Emacs up similarly, then presumably Richard (and others) could use e-mail as before, while those that want to could submit bug reports through Bugzilla. Perhaps Andreas Schwab (or anyone else who is familiar with gcc-bugs) could comment on how this works for GCC? -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
