Hi everyone!
In the Viennese Debian Group[1] Maximilian Attems (from the linux-2.6 team)
held once a small tutorial on kernel bug triage. I tested the techniques then
on the kernel bugs and later on kopete's quite unmaintained bugs. Here I
present my methods and a few text templates for further reference.
I would welcome any feedback about style and content as well as suggestions
whether this could/should be posted at some accessible location.

Thanks! This interesting and really something I'd like to get involved
with. It's really bugging me (pun intended) when I try to submit a
bugreport and there are some 200-300 bugs listed. I have to admit that
in those cases I just hope that someone has already submittet the bug,
quit 'reportbug' and forget about it.
I'm not a developer and I don't know the first thing about C, but I'm
fairly proficient when it comes to Debian (I think) and I just love
learning new things. And I'd really like to get involved in Debian at
some level. And bug triage seems both fun, educational and usefull.
So a couple of questions... do I need to do something, like register or
apply for something, apart from what is mentioned here or is just diving
in the way to go. Do I need a signed gpg key? Does someone have som
basic advice on how to get started or some usefull sites on the topic? I
googled for it but didn't find much apart from the Debian developer
manuals...
