** How do I report a bug in Emacs now?
The same way as you always did. Send mail to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org,
Once your report is filed and assigned a number, it is sent out to the
bug mailing list. In some cases, it may be appropriate to just file a
bug, without sending out a copy. To do this, send mail to
-quiet@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com.
+quiet@debbugs.gnu.org.
** How do I reply to an existing bug report?
-Reply to 123@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com, replacing 123 with the number
+Reply to 123@debbugs.gnu.org, replacing 123 with the number
of the bug you are interested in. NB this only sends mail to the
bug-list, it does NOT (?) send a CC to the original bug submitter.
So you need to explicitly CC him/her (and anyone else you like).
Gnus users can add the following to message-dont-reply-to-names;
similarly with Rmail and rmail-dont-reply-to-names:
+[FIXME needs updating for debbugs.gnu.org]
+
"\\(emacs-pretest-bug\\|bug-gnu-emacs\\)@gnu\\.org\\|\
\\(\\(submit\\|control\\|owner\\)@emacsbugs\\.\\|bug-submit-list@\\)\
donarmstrong\\.com"
The "bug-submit-list@donarmstrong.com" and
-"owner@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com" entries are there because they can
+"owner@debbugs.gnu.org" entries are there because they can
appear in the "Resent-To" and "Resent-CC" headers, respectively. For a
long time Rmail erroneously included these headers in replies. If you
correspond with an Rmail user on a bug, these addresses may end up in
** How does Debbugs send out mails?
The mails are sent out to the bug list with From: and To: unchanged.
-Eg if you file a bug with "submit@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com", that
+Eg if you file a bug with "submit@debbugs.gnu.org", that
remains in the To: address. They reach the bug list by being resent.
Mails arriving at the bug list have the following Resent-* headers:
+[ FIXME needs updating for debbugs.gnu.org ]
+
Resent-From: person who submitted the bug
Resent-To: bug-submit-list@donarmstrong.com
Resent-CC: maintainer email address, plus any X-Debbugs-CC: entries
They also have:
-Reply-To: bug submitter, 123@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com
+Reply-To: bug submitter, 123@debbugs.gnu.org
** To not get acknowledgement mail from the tracker,
add an "X-Debbugs-No-Ack:" header (with any value). If you use Gnus,
emacs-devel that needs fixing. In other words, this can be the
equivalent of adding something to FOR-RELEASE.

There is no need to cc the address without the "-done" part or the

It's a function of the number of displayed bugs. You can speed things
up by only looking at the newest 100 bugs:

+http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?newest=100;package=emacs
The above page is accessible from the "Options" section at the end of
the "main list of bugs" page. Select bugs "in package" = emacs;
*** If the above is not available:
(add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook

+ (setq bug-reference-url-format "http://debbugs.gnu.org/%s")
