Subject: fixing/disabling the bug news->mail gateway
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:03:26 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <j4ockxwz5d.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
It's a long-standing issue that the news->mail gateway does not work
with the bug tracker:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/936
When someone posts a message to the gnu.emacs.bug newsgroup, it
appears on the bug-gnu-emacs mailing list, but not in the bug tracker.
For example, Ted Zlatanov's response to bug 5307 today. (Actually, he's
the only person I ever notice using the news gateway to post.)
The only idea I had to fix this was that the news->mail gateway should
inject messages into submit@debbugs.gnu.org rather than directly to
the bug-gnu-emacs list. (Debbugs would then automatically take care of
appending the data to an exiting report or creating a new bug
depending on whether the subject line contained an existing bug
number.)
Does anyone knw if this is doable? It doesn't seem to be possible in a
standard mailman setup, but could the FSF admins somehow add it as a
special case?
Otherwise I reiterate my proposal from
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-11/msg01209.html
I think it would be acceptable to make the gateway one-way,
mail->news only. I don't think people need to be able to report
bugs via usenet. For those who want to do so, gmane exists.
