Introduction to the bug system request server
There is a mailserver which can send the bug reports and indices as
plain text on request.
To use it you send a mail message to request@bugs.debian.org. The
Subject of the message is ignored, except for generating the Subject
of the reply.
Subject of the message is ignored, except for generating the Subject of
the reply.
The body you send should be a series of commands, one per line. You'll

sent to anyone for the commands listed here and the mail isn't logged
interpreted, with a response to each command. No notifications are sent
to anyone for the commands listed here and the mail isn't logged
anywhere publicly available.
Any text on a line starting with a hash sign # is ignored; the server
will stop processing when it finds a line with a control terminator (
quit, thank you, or two hyphens are common examples). It will also
stop if it encounters too many unrecognised or badly-formatted
commands. If no commands are successfully handled it will send the
help text for the server.

Release tags should not be used if proper versioning of the bug would
achieve the desired effect, as they require manual addition and
removal. If you are unsure if a release tag is required, contact the

for advice.

Introduction to the bug control and manipulation mailserver
Just as request@bugs.debian.org allows the retrieval of bug data and
documentation by email, control@bugs.debian.org allows bug reports to
be manipulated in various ways.
The control server works just like the request server, except that it
has some additional commands; in fact, it's the same program. The two
addresses are only separated to avoid users making mistakes and
causing problems while merely trying to request information.

Acknowledgements
Normally, the bug tracking system will return an acknowledgement to
you by e-mail when you report a new bug or submit additional
information to an existing bug. If you want to suppress this
acknowledgement, include an X-Debbugs-No-Ack header in your e-mail
(the contents of this header do not matter; however, it must be in the
mail header and not in the pseudo-header with the Package field). If
you report a new bug with this header, you will need to check the web
interface yourself to find the bug number.

Note that this header will not suppress acknowledgements from the
control@bugs.debian.org mailserver, since those acknowledgements may
contain error messages which should be read and acted upon.
Spamfighting and missing mail
The bug tracking system implements a rather extensive set of rules
designed to make sure that spam does not make it through the BTS. While
we try to minimize the number of false positives, they do occur. If you
suspect your mail has triggered a false positive, feel free to contact
owner@bugs.debian.org for assistance. Another common cause of mail not
making it through to the BTS is utilizing addresses which match
procmail's FROM_DAEMON, which includes mail from addresses like
mail@foobar.com. If you suspect your mail matches FROM_DAEMON, see
procmailrc(5) to verify, and then resend the mail using an address
which does not match FROM_DAEMON.
Bug reports against unknown packages
If the bug tracking system doesn't know who the maintainer of the
relevant package is it will forward the report to debian-bugs-dist
even if maintonly was used.

When sending to maintonly@bugs.debian.org or
nnn-maintonly@bugs.debian.org you should make sure that the bug report
is assigned to the right package, by putting a correct Package at the
top of an original submission of a report, or by using the
control@bugs.debian.org service to (re)assign the report
appropriately.

following will automatically select the right package and let you
write the report right away: reportbug --file $(which grep)
