Is there any easy way to contact everybody who made a bug report against a package and ask them to check if the latest upload fixes it? Or is there any script for maintainers to do this?
If somebody has opened 2 ore more bugs maybe they may prefer to only receive a single email summarizing all their bugs for that package. For example, nfs-utils has over 100 active bug reports and although I spent some time updating it I'm not keen to go through all the bugs one by one. Given that a lot of things were fixed upstream between 1.2.8 and 1.3.4 it is quite possible some people can close their own bugs, or even better, tell us if the bug is still unfixed and potentially RC.
