Re: Too mamy wishlist bugs



Hi again Ben,

Thanks for your efforts to help Debian.  I see you're now filing bugs in Perl
packages, and others.  However:

Please do read
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/beyond-pkging.en.html#reporting-lots-of-bugs-at-once-mass-bug-filing
 :

"Reporting a great number of bugs for the same problem on a great number of
different packages — i.e., more than 10 — is a deprecated practice. Take all
possible steps to avoid submitting bulk bugs at all."

"If you report more than 10 bugs on the same topic at once, it is recommended
that you send a message to debian-devel@lists.debian.org describing your
intention before submitting the report"

Does this help you?

Bye,

Joost
