Re: [Semi-OT] Automatic subscription to self-opened bug reports

also sprach Camaleón <noelamac@xxxxxxxxx> [2011.10.30.1928 +0100]:
This script and the BTS aren;t tied in to the box from which you report
a script. As long as you have a Debian or Ubuntu or other Debian
derivative box with devscripts installed, you should be able to
auto-subscribe with this script to all the bugs that you've reported.

As I read it, the script is basically a loop that retrieves the bug
number for all the bugs that have been sent by the reporter and sends
subcription e-mails to the BTS robot... but you still have to manually
reply to the incoming confirmation e-mails, right? And this is when the
Procmail recipe comes into play, I guess, to close the cycle.

Sounds about right:
