Bug#414824: reportbug-ng should send a BCC to the submitter's email address
Hi Benjamin, why do you think should should a bugreport be CCed to the submitter by default? Cheers, Bastian -- Bastian Venthur http://venthur.de Debian Developer venthur at debian org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To maintain similar behavior as reportbug b.) So that if the message to submit@ is lost/spamfiltered/etc, there is a record and it can be resubmitted c.)

You can always report bugs via email as described here: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting I just tried to make it as comfortable and easy for the user as possible. b.) So that if the message to submit@ is lost/spamfiltered/etc, there is a record and it can be resubmitted Every mailclient I know stores sent mails in some place (eg Sent), so resubmitting bugreports should not be a problem if necessary. Since reportbug sent the mails directly (without an email client) it surely was convinient to CC the submitter, but since reportbug-ng uses a mailcient it is superfluous, I think. c.) So that if someone is submitting bug reports under someone else's email address, it can be found out Hmm, this does not really convince me. If the attacker has the knowledge necessary to fake an email adress, he surely knows how to send fake mails to bugs.debian.org directly. I'll leave your report open as whishlist and may implement an option in the future if I notice more demand for it. Great job with reportbug-ng, I only wish you had started it 6 months earlier so it could have been shipped with etch.
