This funky behavior seems to happen to me too.  One in every 20 posts
i post to gnu.emacs.bug never appear there.  Though i don't recall
this happening for mails via report-emacs-bug..

(And my messages have been nice, legit. messages with no porn-binaries
attached ...  and with 100% original content.. )

Happen to anyone else too?    Is there a bug somewhere in the
newsgroup-administration?

FWIW, it never happened to me.  However, I mostly send email messages to 
bug.gnu.emacs, not post to the news group directly.

What administration?

Bug reports should always be posted by mail, not by net news.
That is more reliable for giving a valid way to reach you for
more information.

The maintainers always read the mailing list, not the newsgroup.  I am
not sure whether we have a working gateway now from news to mail.

In my experience, the news->mail gateway works reasonably well.

Of course, sending bug reports via email is more reliable.

I was wrong; it didn't disappear in cyberspace, it *did* actually crop up in
gnu.emacs.bug after 7 days, but since it took so long in the mean time
I thought it was gone.

i have seen this too for some of my posts, again mostly with g.e.bug
rather than other groups.

I thought hooks was intended for additions/modifications by individual users
rather than
a means of official bug fixes of the main code? :-)

the concept of hooks is non-specific.  emacs conventional hooks are for users,
but the report-emacs-bug-hook (function) serves the bug reporting mechanism
primarily.  (this function is added to mail-send-hook, a normal hook.)  in
this case, the function name is confusing because it ends in "-hook"; maybe it
is better to rename it report-emacs-bug-confirm-and-send, since that is what
it does.

the code snippet posted was added to this function rather than added as a new
hook.  see emacsbug.el for more info.

    2) I sent a bug report last week with the built in "Send Bug Report"
       command. I never saw it again, neither in email respons nor in
       gnu.emacs.bug news.

I did not get such a message from you either, so I suspect it never
really got sent.  Maybe there is a bug in how it sends mail on your
system.  Could you try to investigate?
