FWIW, the Debbugs URL format and M-x gnus-read-ephemeral-emacs-bug-group trick are already described in admin/notes/bugtracker, which is referenced at the start of bug-triage: This document just describes the procedure of triaging bugs, for information on how to work with the bug tracker, see the bugtracker file in this same directory for the basics. You can also install the debbugs ELPA package for access to M-x debbugs-gnu, an emacs interface to debbugs, and M-x debbugs-org, an emacs interface via org-mode. But I don't mind if bug-triage summarises the same information. Thanks, -- Basil ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

Maybe it's not a good idea to duplicate information (lest one of the locations will fall out of sync with the other). But the bugtracker file makes it sound like you need to be a Gnus user to use M-x gnus-read-ephemeral-emacs-bug-group, which is a bit misleading. It also doesn't mention how to view a bug in its "Quick-start guide". The attached patch tries to fix the above two issues by adding a new section "How do I read a bug?" to the "Quick-start guide" with both of these methods covered. What do you think?
