What does that mean? The thread generated by a bug report is presumably a mixture of technical discussion and admin related to the tracker. How does someone following bug-gnu-emacs know that a bug report has been closed if he only sees part of the thread. > Using emacs-pretest-bug for the bug tracker > > "Using" in this context confuses the two questions, > since it fails to distinguish the two kinds of use.
