Oliver, While I can understand your frustration, I am barely able to keep on top of the bug reports filed against hplip and the majority are upstream issues. Any assistance with bug triage is welcome! However while the Debian team are unable to keep on top of the BTS it makes sense to redirect upstream reports directly to upstream. That way our users get a quicker response to their issues, upstream also supports raising both questions and/ or bugs. It is unfortunate that upstream does require registration, but that is their decision. Finally, presubj does already state that Debian users are 'welcome' to file in the Debian BTS. Mark
