Well, that is something, but notice that due to the big number of mostly
uninformative 'processed' and other BTS mail, i missed the original pm2
bug you then forwarded to me, which would not have happened if debian-x
was not so high volume. Face it, if you don't read it each day, you can
quickly get 100+ new mails, which makes it a bit difficult to follow.
I understand your need to have this info available in the mailing list,
but interested people could as well subscribe to the PTS, no need to
duplicate things. Replies could still be set to the list or something.
At least splitting the automatically generated stuff to a second write
only list would be nice, setting the reply-to or whatever of it to
debian-x, this would be for SVN logs and bug report traffic.
Or maybe lower the quantity of messages the bug report sends, no need to
really include the processed messages, they don't really add that much
information.
Notice i just send to david a 4.2.1 upstream glint_drv.o with debugging
log enabled, let's see what this will bring us as information.

Yep.
