Hrm. I thought for sure I'd made that clear in that thread, but now I 
can't seem to find any evidence of it. Yes, you do; though you'll 
obviously need to find a BTS admin to implement it, and, well, know 
about it.

Err, </debbugs hat>. With the candidate hat on it's: I support the 
judgement of the bugs.d.o maintainers; if they collectively think it's a 
good idea to extend, revoke or change that policy, more power to them.
