Bug#377152: Please don't mark submitter bounces unless BTS says bounce



Hi,

This is the second bug of mine you have closed for which the submitter
works (else I wouldn't know about this message) but for which you
closed the bug because of submitter bouncing.  Please stop doing that.

The BTS has a command that lets you change your submitter address when
you email address changes and I have used it.  That means bugs sent to
the bug address (in this case 377152@bugs.debian.org) get to me and DO
NOT BOUNCE.  

What bounces is the original email address in the bug report, which
isn't the same thing.  In future please don't close a bug on the
grounds that the submitter address bounces unless you have looked
through the bug log and verified that there is no newer submitter
address.  

This can also happen if a developer changes the submitter address for
some reason.  In that case also, closing a bug because the original
email address is not the same as the current submitter address (which
works) is wrong.

Please be more careful in the future.

Regards,

Daniel
