No, that is the initial implementation of the feature that we have and that as I describe in bug#5439 doesn't work. From the close message of #34071 * Added per bug subscription support to debbugs, which relies on an external MLM to actually deal with the requests; currently works with eoc and sends messages to bugnum\@$gListDomain. (closes: #34071) eoc = Enemies of Carlotta No use at all for GNU Mailman lists.

This is documented at http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Reporting-Bugs.html Oh yes, but it's not completely clear to me whether I get only an email for a bug that I submitted or whether I can explicitly can subscribed to some specific bug-thread. First off, you do not need to be subscribed to bug-automake in order to post there. We have a habit of Cc:ing the author (and rest of people already in Cc:) when replying, so non-subscribers can follow the discussion. We don't always get this completely right, and people replying via web interfaces a la gmane can't easily follow this, but usually it works OK. I glanced over the debbugs documentation at debbugs.gnu.org now, but couldn't find a place that said something about subscribing to individual bugs. Glen, do you happen to know more about this? ...similar to what for example the roundup-tracker can do. The python people use it. The Nosy list is what I am referring to. http://bugs.python.org/issue1294032 I think I would get too many (to me irrelevant) mails if I subscribe to the bug-automake mailing list. Sure. It's not too high traffic though. Cheers, Ralf
