* bug#389: can not send e-mail to bug-gnu-emacs without it being assigned a bug number @ 2008-06-11 20:23 Joe Wells 2008-06-11 21:44 ` Jason Rumney 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: Joe Wells @ 2008-06-11 20:23 UTC (permalink / raw) To: bug-gnu-emacs It is no longer possible to send e-mail to bug-gnu-emacs without it being assigned a bug number. It appears that if e-mail to bug-gnu-emacs contains “bug#XYZ” in the subject, it is added to the bug log for bug number XYZ, while otherwise a fresh bug number is allocated and the e-mail is added to the bug log for the new bug report. It appears that bug-gnu-emacs (a.k.a. the gnu.emacs.bug newsgroup) has been taken over completely by the bug tracking system. The bug-gnu-emacs mailing list can no longer be used for meta-level discussions about bug handling. Is this a feature or a bug? Should it still be possible for bug-gnu-emacs to be used as an ordinary mailing list (and newsgroup)? I don't think the new way is necessarily bad, but it seems to have happened without much community discussion. Please discuss this. -- Joe -- Heriot-Watt University is a Scottish charity registered under charity number SC000278. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
