Re: Proposal: use BTS for wnpp
I think this is an excellent idea. One of the most frustrating things
about ITPs is that unless you read debian-devel religiously, you
invariably miss stuff and duplicate effort.
If there are objections that the debian-devel readership needs to see
ITPs, etc., we could have the BTS include debian-devel in it's
distribution list.
