Also there are some Emacs packages for dealing with bug reports. "Debian has a bug tracking system which files details of bugs reported by users and developers. Each bug is given a number, and is kept on file until it is marked as having been dealt with. The system is mainly controlled by e-mail, but the bug reports can be viewed using the WWW. This version is fully functional, but it does not automatically configure. See /usr/share/doc/debbugs/README.Debian after installation. Note: there might be various issues with this package, caveat emptor. " -- Gianluca Della Vedova http://www.statistica.unimib.it/~dellavedova
