What, on your opinion, can be done better in Debian BTS, reportbug?

Why do you think it's better than current approach (if exists)?

What can you do to with that?

1) In http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ , I would like to see an option to search
just within the title of the bug reports.

2) If I report a bug, I would automatically like to be subscribed to it so
that I receive all the future communications. Currently let's say I report
a bug. Then if the maintainer replies only to the bug report, I have no way
of knowing about it unless I manually subscribe to that bug number.
Manually subscribing to each bug report you submit is tiresome.

3) If I report a bug, I want to see it immediately in bugs.debian.org and
not after some 20 minutes delay. (that's way it works with other bug
reporting systems, ex:- kde, gcc bug reporting systems)

Those are my only complaints. Otherwise BTS is just great.

In my experience, the titles of bug reports are often useless.

There is, however, a full-text search of the BTS available here:

I agree.

Well, it used to be an average of a 15 minute delay. Now the average is
2 minutes.

1)I agree with kamaraju (sp?) that submitter should be automatically
subscribed to the bug, or even better, given the option to subscribe
from within reportbug at submittal time.


2)also, I'd love to see a final option to change the From: address in
reportbug as various times I've been an idiot and completed a whole
report not realising that I had a bogus From:... but I can get pretty
stupid sometimes...

1)it places the burden of subcribing on the submitter, but makes it
dead-stupid easy to subscribe (you could bypass any confirmation email
etc...) and takes work load of keeping track of CC's off the
maintainer.

2) theres already a stupid_mode in the code, so why not more of the
same?

I don't know, maybe hack reportbug to include this option, but I
haven't looked at it closely.

Or making the subscription as easy as replying to the ACK mail (without
and additional ACK, as the reply already verifies that I'm not a
computer).
