In other words, not exactly what RMS describes. I think that is a misunderstanding. There are two questions here! 1. Whether messages people send to bug-gnu-emacs should generate bug tracker entries. (And likewise for emacs-pretest-bug.) I said nothing about that, but I think that both lists should do so. 2. Whether the bug tracker should send mail to bug-gnu-emacs. That is the question I was talking about before. I think it should NOT send any mail to bug-gnu-emacs, or to emacs-pretest-bug. Using emacs-pretest-bug for the bug tracker "Using" in this context confuses the two questions, since it fails to distinguish the two kinds of use. I urge you to avoid that wording.
