IME, as a release manager/bug triager and as a member of package maintenance teams, the distributions I want to be able to use for bug mails are: - to the submitter and to the maintainer (most common) - to the maintainer only and IME as a sole maintainer of packages, the distributions I want are: - to the submitter only - "-quiet" It would be great to see each of these mail distribution targets available as a single destination address on bugs.d.o, and even better if the reply-to's on bugs mail were set so that I never had to fiddle with headers again when replying to bugs :) -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
