I am not sure if by maintainer is useful (only if you update the maintainer to match the current maintainer each time). > The message that gets sent to the debian-bugs-closed list and back to the > closer now inlcudes the text of the message that closed the bug... as well > as the original bug report.

I'm inclined to agree with the opinion that: > "if it's that trivial, just email the maintainer. If the maintainer > doesn't respond/fix it.. it's a bug.. ie. normal" I don't think we should encourage private mail to the maintainer. It has a tendency to get lost (look at your desk if you don't believe me :) and it does not serve well if maintainer changes etc. Now that we have teh Closes: feature in changelog file it is trivial to close fixed bugs. Let's just stay with normal bug reports, even for trivialities. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
