Perhaps at the same time the minimum could be a debian dev anonymous
email address that is used to simply send a link to the bug report to
the upstream mailing list if they have one. It is not always easy for
a user to find the right place/list/having to register possibly
a second time etc..

I have no idea why RTFM is used so aggressively on LINUX mailing lists
because whilst 'apropos' is traditionally the most powerful command on
Unix-like systems it's 'modern' replacement 'apropos' on Linux is a tool
to help psychopaths learn to control their anger.
