Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2023 06:23:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sfdyoext.fsf@web.de> (raw)
Hello,
I have some small suggestions to make (info "(emacs) Bugs") even more
complete.
The first I want to say is that, while we are telling a lot of
(technical) details, we are missing a bit to tell what creating a bug
report means practically, how it works in general. I mean simple things
like these that are trivial for us but still not clear to everybody:
Basically everything works by using Email. As the author of the bug
report you'll be sent a CC copy of every message that belongs to that
bug [it is important to let people know that e.g. a question of
somebody is not necessarily addressed to the bug author].
You can reply normally to any of those messages. If you do so please
be sure to keep the address that has been assigned to the bug (it
looks like 12345@debbugs.gnu.org) in the list of recipients before
sending your reply because else the bug tracker will not receive your
message [lot's of people do this wrong!].
[...] parts are comments from me about the text, not part of the text.
Then I wonder if we could say that it is helpful when the author loads
relevant Elisp files before recording an Elisp backtrace [with a short
explanation of what "relevant" means, and how that can be achieved].
Hmm - I think that's already it for now. You'll probably want to find a
better wording.
TIA,
Michael.
