Would this be sub-optimal? That does not solve the problem. A year later, when a user wants to see all queries regarding a specific package, he needs to run through search engines and mailing list archives. Data that is not organized is useless. PS: Now that we have shapado running I hope we can soon do something to implement a QTS.

Unfortunately yes. In too many cases it is impossible to tell from the subject (or even body) if a specific message is related to a specific package. Even if you could, for some packages (think Gnome or Iceweasel) you would hit the same problem as with bugs: too many to sort...

Invitation for Debian enthusiasts to join Debian booth at SfN
The NeuroDebian team [1] runs a Debian booth [2] at the Society for Neuroscience meeting (SfN2010) that will take place November 13-17 in San Diego, USA [0]. The annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience is one of the largest neuroscience conferences in the world, with over 30,000 attendees. Researchers, clinicians, and leading experts discuss the latest findings about the brain, nervous system, and related disorders. We still have few free slots for booth personnel. If you are a Debian enthusiast (developer, contributor, evangelist) and reside near San Diego (or have time and funds for travel/lounge), or already planing to attend SfN 2010, please help us to make the Debian booth at SfN shine. Please contact us asap at t...@neuro.debian.net [0] http://www.sfn.org/am2010/ [1] http://neuro.debian.net [2] http://www.expocadweb.com/2010sfn/ec/forms/attendee/index.aspx?content=vbooth&id=1153 -- Yaroslav O.
