Hmm?\n\nAll interaction with the Debian BTS (except for viewing bugs) is done\nover email.  That's what I like about it.  It will automatically insert\nan appropriate piece in the subject line (Bug#1393:) and anyone can mail\nthe control bot to manipulate a bug.  It also has the concept of\nusertags, so you can create your own set of tags with user\ngit@vger.kernel.org (or your personal address, if you desire), and then\nsort and display bugs appropriately.\n\nJunio seemed lukewarm on the idea of using a bug tracker; however, I\nthink debbugs (either the Debian BTS or a separate instance) is probably\nthe best-suited to an email-based workflow of all the systems I've used.\nOf course, it's up to the regulars (and probably ultimately Junio)\nwhether this is something that Git as a project would benefit from.\n\n-- \nbrian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US\n+1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only\nOpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187\n"}]}
