We are hoping to process at least 75 of these installation reports this week, with the help of the larger group of Debian developers, and so we have written a tutorial that should get developers quickly up to speed on processing installation reports. You can find it here:http://cvs.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/debian-installer/doc/installation-reports.txt?rev=1.2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=d-i
While the tutorial has allowed me to proccess some reports, there are still some that I don't know how to handle. Perhaps the answers to these questions could complete the tutorial?
* When one finds a bug report containing only one issue I assume its correct just to reassign it to its respective package? An alternative line of thought would be to collect all installation-reports in one place, hence every bug needs to be cloned.
* Shouldn't I (send a notification)/cc developers of the affected packages? Here I refer to the notorisly quiet reassign command.
* Could you please add bug numbers to every item in the TODO so one knows to whom one should forward requests such as "include 2.6"
* Often[0][1] one finds bugs where the reporter needs to fill in things to make sense. So I send a mail to the submitter asking for more info. Then I need to follow up on the bug. But I can't recall any way of getting all mail sent to the bug other than changing the owner. Is there a better way?
