Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.6
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/bts

I've had a lot of problems recently with people randomly changing bugs
assigned to my packages using the bts command without providing any form
of descriptive text explaining why they are manipulating the bugs.  This
makes it harder work than it should be to reverse engineer what they
were trying to do.

In the past when people just e-mailed control this wasn't such a problem
since people tended to include some descriptive text in their e-mails
but the current bts command line interface doesn't.  It would be really
helpful if the bts command line could be modified to encourage people to
provide some form of comment.  I have to say that no good ideas
immediately spring to mind, though.
