Martin is talking about bugs like #618138, which was opened against
globus-rsl/7.2-2 but closed with doxygen/1.7.3-6.


Martin the mail you send to 618125 was in principle correct, however it
should have been send to control@bugs.debian.org.

Mails send to 123456@bugs.debian.org are _not_ scanned for commands,
they will just appear in the bug log.  Please also note that mails send
to control@bugs.debian.org will change a bugs state, but won't show up
in the bug log.  So please send such mails to 12345@bugs.debian,org and
BCC them also to control@bugs.debian.org.


Please also note, that there are quite a couple of bugs affected not
just the one you tried to fix, which would need some bts cleanup,


Best regards,
