We've also never had any bugs opened via spam, since you need the
psuedo-headers and stuff to [email protected]. We do have the occasional bug
*closed* via spam, but that is pretty rare, and it's easy to reopen it
anyway.

In a very, very basic manner.

... over the old debbug based one. Don't judge debbugs 2.5 based on an
ancient forked version of debbugs 1.0. Since I have to set debbugs up
anyway, I'll put in a few test packages and stuff that people can play
around with. Not soon, though - I have lots of stuff on this week, and a
talk to write for linux.conf.au next week.
