[Reportbug-maint] Bug#538401: reportbug: when adding extra information to bug reported by somebody else offer to subscribe and cc submitter

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: reportbug
Version: 3.48
Severity: wishlist


It seems that reportbug simply sends mail to nnn at bugs.

However, if I am not reporter of the bug I will not get any furter email
unless others replying to the report manually CC me, and if I am not the
submitter only the maintainer will get the message, not the submitter.

It would be very useful if reportbug offered the option to CC the
submitter and the option to subscribe to further replies.

I am sure it is possible with the Debian BTS by just modifying the
address to which the report is sent and perhaps adding one or two CCs.
