Bug#757274: devref: please point upstream to PTS subscription UI when forwarding bugs



Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.4.13

An upstream package maintainer just gave the following suggestion:

Given that it's so easy to subscribe to the PTS at qa.debian.org, why
don't maintainers point that out to upstream when forwarding bugs?
That way, if upstream wants to see reports without waiting for the
Debian package maintainer to forward them, they can from then on.

It sounds like a good idea.  Would section 5.8.3.6 "Bug housekeeping"
be a good place to point this out?  Alternatively, is there some place
in newmaint-guide that would make it obvious for new maintainers of
the future?

Thanks,
Jonathan
