At YAPC::Europe, there was some talk over dinner about the perlbug
email interface and making it a little easier to close bugs.
Basically write up some mutt/elm/your-favorite-mailer-here macros for
the most common operations.
this bug is notabug
its been fixed in the latest version of perl (possibly with a test)
here's a test for this bug
here's a fix for this bug
The idea being you see a bug report on p5p and can reply to it *and*
send commands to perlbug with a single command. So instead of hitting
'g' (group reply in mutt) you might hit 'B' (perlbug) and select from
a short list ('n'otabug, already 'f'ixed, 't'est, 'p'atch) of what
you're doing. Up pops an editor and you do your thing.
I don't know perlbug *or* mutt's macros very well. So...
1) Richard, is this up to date?
http://bugs.perl.org/perlbug.cgi?req=mailhelp
2) Richard (or someone who knows perlbug well), could you show us
sample emails for the aforementioned perlbug commands? Just to make
sure we've got it right.
Once we have that...
3) Someone who knows mutt/elm/etc can code up a little script to do
the necessary automation.
