Bug#479953: uniform header for automated package maintenance emails
Package: general
Severity: wishlist
With all the (helpful) email that a package maintainer gets nowadays, BTS,
PTS, Dak, DDPOMail robot, BTS link, etc., it becomes ever weirder to just
filter them into appropriate mail folders. To illustrate that, here are
procmail rules that I have assembled over time:
* ^X-Debian-PR-Message:
* ^X-Katie:
* ^X-PTS-
* ^From:.*(installer|katie|dak)@((ftp-master|spohr)\.debian\.org|backports\.org)
* ^From: DDPOMail robot <lucas-ddpomail@debian\.org>
* ^X-BTS-Link:
I think it would be very nice to press these into some common form, such as
X-Debian: BTS
X-Debian: DAK
X-Debian: PTS
X-Debian: BTS-link
or alternatively
X-Debian-BTS: $moreinfo
X-Debian-DAK: $moreinfo
....
Maybe there is a quasi-standard for constructing these X- headers.
