I'm only used to, let's say, more formal bug handling, where there is a certain process that is followed by both the reporter of the bug as well as the developer that is working on the bug. For example, in the places I've worked, there were different states that the bug was on, like "new", "confirmed", "reproducible", etc. Is there such a thing for Emacs bugs? If yes, how does one go about changing it? And where? But I kind of get the workflow from your answer. I've had a look at the web interface for the bug system and it's not very user friendly. Let's say I'd like to have a look at the existing bugs, trying to at least reproduce them and comment in the bug reports. How would I practically do that? I'm following the bugs mailing list on gmane for the past week or so, btw.
