emails from noreply@salsa.debian.org to bugs.debian.org
I received an update to a bugreport, but responding to it bounced.
I don't know if this is a one-off experiment or a common setup, but
I find it bad for Salse to inject automated emails to Debbugs: Debbugs
is supposed to be usable with email interaction.
Arguably, such setup is spam: I is a bot that messes with the bugs but
is not accountable for its actions, since it is only a one-way
communication. Sure, I can then investigate the email and figure out
which non-email side channel might reach the true originator of the
bot activity, but I have no interest in that added burden laid on me.
The concrete incidence is https://bugs.debian.org/972695#28
Am I missing something sensible here, or do others also see a problem
in this setup?
