For more information see > http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-request#user That's useless since simple tagging as +moreinfo help would just mean that nobody would take care of those bugs, and they would linger the indefinitely. I could just close the bugs and the effect would be same. I like the idea from Bastien: affects <bugno> bug-improve or even better reassign <bugno> bug-improve affects <bugno> <original-package> But we still need the bugsquash team to be formed.
