---------- Help message follows:

It is now possible to reassign bug reports to other packages, and to
reopen erroneously-closed ones, by sending mail.

The mail you send to debian-bugs-request@pixar.com should be

a series of commands, one per line.  You'll receive a reply which
looks like a transcript of your message being interpreted, with a
response to each command.  No notifications are sent to anyone;
however, the messages are logged and made available in the WWW pages.

The commands are:


reassign <bugnumber> <package>

Records that bug #<bugnumber> is a bug in <package>.  This can be used
to set the package if the user forgot the psuedo-header, or to change
an earlier assignment.


reopen <bugnumber>

Reopens #<bugnumber> if it is closed.  If it is not closed it won't do
anything.  If the bug is closed it is reopened, and you are recorded
as the originator of the report, so that you will get the ack when it
is closed again.  This is to avoid flooding potentially-naive users
with many notifications about the same report.


forwarded <bugnumber> <address>

Notes that <bugnumber> has been forwarded to the upstream maintainer
at <address>.  This does not actually forward the report.


notforwarded <bugnumber>

Forgets any idea that <bugnumber> has been forwarded to any upstream
maintainer.


help

Sends this help message.

Suggestions for future additions are welcome, though anything that
requires the sending of notifications to various parties about the
state(s) of bug report(s) is unlikely to be implemented.
