Bug Tracker Information for debbugs.gnu.org

To report a problem with the tracker, send a mail to submit at debbugs.gnu.org, with

Package: debbugs.gnu.org

Your report will be sent to the help-debbugs mailing list. If you want to discuss the tracker, or get help with it without creating a bug report, you can just send a mail to that list in the normal way.

Differences between this tracker and a standard debbugs installation

• All control messages from the tracker itself are sent to a single list (at present, emacs-bug-tracker), rather than to the individual maintainer addresses.
• Closing a bug by sending a mail to 123-done sends a close mail to the submitter (as usual), and also sends a copy to the previously mentioned list (normally it goes to the maintainer). A separate mail is sent to the maintainer, just like a normal mail sent to 123 (ie, it does not have the "bug closed" boilerplate). It has a Mail-Followup-To header set to the address without the "-done" part.
• When a new report is sent out to the maintainer, the To: header is rewritten to the 123 address. This is instead of setting a Reply-To header.
