And when they do, the thread can be moved to emacs-devel. The same is true for discussions in bug-gnu-emacs and help-gnu-emacs: Whenever a discussion turns into a discussion about development, emacs-devel can be appropriate. It is not necessarily the case that a report to emacs-pretest leads to a discussion about development. However, as I said, based on the previous thread on this topic, I think most people do not share my preference for separate lists for pre-release bugs and development.
