We ask users to report bugs by email. If we don't change that, it is no loss. Third: Ironically, the mail message containing the bug report has a simple format, once you know the component (package, on debian parlance) and version. But this is not easy to do. `cc-mode' is not the same as `c-mode', I think we will treat Emacs as one single project. and `auctex' is not under the Emacs project. If someone reports a bug in auctex we will forward it, I suppose. Fourth: Even if `report-emacs-bug' is changed to accomodate debbugs' requirements, it will affect to future Emacs relases only, so bugs submitted by people with the old implementation would require special treatment. Could a script deal with this?
