I can't believe it, usually I don't agree with you but here I do ! That's a
pretty good idea. I'm sure that for most of the packages, there aren't
that much Debian specific bugs and since the author can choose I don't see
a reason not to implement it. Even better anybody should be able to
register himself in the BTS so that he'll get all the bugreports for
a specific package (or source package, but that's something more difficult
to implement I guess) ... this would allow several maintainer to maintain
the same package without using an alias or a list.
Adding to this the possibility to have architecture specific bugs, and
distribution specific bugs, and we'll have the best BTS around the world.
Ok, who does it ? ;-)
