I think that's a bad idea. The right number to use in that case would be "24.1", ie the first _release_ in which something is fixed. "24.0.50.6", or even "24.0.50" is a meaningless version number. Obviously you could automatically deduce "24.1" and use that instead, but I think passing a version number by default is not a good idea. Just give the option to specify a version number when the user thinks it's appropriate, and otherwise don't pass one. Other wishlist items, I don't know if these are really debbugs.el issues. I'll just mention them, feel free to ignore: i) Don't include both ###@debbugs and bug-gnu-emacs/emacs-pretest-bug in the To:/Cc: of replies. They are basically aliases of each other, so we just get duplicate copies if people use both. ###@debbugs is the right address to use. ii) In replies, replace any old emacsbugs.donarmstrong addresses with debbugs.g.o addresses.
