In the course of my job as bugmaster of the BTS, I got this response. (The gentleman was trying to respond to bugs by sending owner@bugs.debian.org the comments). I'm not sure what packages he's refering to or who the maintainers are but if one upstream author feels this way...??? The key that I'd like to point out to the rest of the project is "or do I see a regular practice of forwarding those reports upstream..." ----- Forwarded message from "T.E.Dickey" <dickey@clark.net> ----- From: "T.E.Dickey" <dickey@clark.net> Subject: Re: http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=59191 To: gecko@benham.net (Darren O.

(but the web interface really does lack a way to respond; I happen to be the upstream maintainer for those programs, and the interface doesn't provide me a way to respond other than by saving the text to a file, cutting & pasting the address - nor do I see a regular practice of forwarding those reports upstream...). -- Thomas E.
