That means pretest bug reports will come here first. I think that in principle there is some benefit to having a separate emacs-pretest-bug, eg it makes it easy to see all bugs in one place (in the absence of a bug tracker). In practice, it's pretty broken, because: i) some people report bugs to emacs-devel ii) you in particular seem to like forwarding bug reports from emacs-pretest-bug to emacs-devel, which potentially leads to duplication of effort (eg when eedjits like me fail to notice this and followup to the original bug report). Would there be any use to messages that come from the emacs-pretest-bug list being tagged (eg [emacs-pretest-bug]) in the subject line? Again, I'm thinking of an easy way to see all bugs (and again, it's broken by i) above). Would you do this for gnu-emacs-bug too?
