Short Term: + create a command that guess from the index.fwd list, every forwarded bug it can handle, and that sets what needs to be => Sender has to be the usertag user here ==> archive dirty solution is curently: DEBEMAIL=$(user) ./btspull \ $(grep http ../db-h/index.fwd | \ sed -e 's/: .*/ / ; s/^/, /' | \ tr -d '\n' | sed -e 's/^, //') + have a website on http://bts-link.alioth.debian.org/ + abort remote bts queues if too many failures .oO( CPAN RT that is often down, and we wait 3 minutes per bug for a timeout ) Medium Term: + support more remote BTS + Implement duplicates following for non-Bugzilla BTS + Deal with merged bugs: do the commands once ! + Create a btspull Maintainer-friendly version that will sets the tags and do the forward, to avoid that work at the next cron run (and makes the daily control mail smaller...) + Create some web pages that help to craft urls like the two on [4]. (those are crafted with the help of a preliminary work I did on the kde bugs as a proof of concept a couple of weeks ago). Long Term: + find a way to post new bugs, interactively or not. call that bzpush.py config.cgi helps us a *lot* here.
