Thanks a lot for starting the discussion on this. I think that standardizing on this would really help Debian and the free software community as a whole. > * `Bug-<Vendor>` or `Bug` (optional) > > It contains one or more URLs (space separated) pointing to the related > bugs > (possibly fixed by the patch).

What about using Debian: (like Ubuntu's Patch Tagging Guidelines) to indicate which Debian bug is fixed by this patch? > * `Status` (optional) Why optional? > * `Signed-off-by` (optional) I don't think that this field is necessary. If people want to credit other people in their patches, they can do so in the Description:. I Think that there's one field missing: DebianSpecific. This field would indicate why the patch is Debian-specific, and should not be forwarded upstream.
