By far the most common *use* will be to unarchive and reopen,
though. There's almost no point at all unarchiving a bug that's still
closed.
Given the amount of spam the BTS is collecting, I wonder if unarchiving
old bugs and hence reactivating old email addresses is just asking for
spam trouble. One alternative possibility would be to clone archived bugs,
rather than reopening them per se, so that you have something like:
unarchive 12345 -1
# -1 now refers to new bug number 234567, which is open, and whose
# log contains a copy of the log from 12345; 12345 is left archived,
# bug its log has a note that 234567 has been cloned from it
reassign 234567 foobar
severity 234567 serious
Note that you can't do:
To: 12345@bugs.debian.org
Cc: control@bugs.debian.org
unarchive 12345
thanks
blahblablah
anyway, since the mail to 12345@bugs.d.o will be processed before the
mail to control.
Cheers,
aj
