I also wouldn't mind making changes as required to make it fit in better with the emacs development model[1] (as debbugs is rather Debian specific now.) Thank you. Please do that; it will be very useful for us. I expect that any changes which make it more useful for us will also make it more useful for other programs whose developers talk a lot by email. 1: I don't really know how you all develop emacs, so I would need significant input on what changes were needed. I don't have a vocabulary to describe different "ways" to develop a program, so I would not know how to answer. Maybe someone else knows how to answer you more usefully. But I think that if you subscribe to emacs-devel for a week you'll more or less know the answer.
