No, I was not aware of it.  Yet, if I understand the objective of the Emacs ML and Debbugs, it is for, when you have a crash with emacs or, at least, an error stack trace when evaluating some lisp code. This is different from the intent here to define how to switch a thread started as a simple conversation to a tracked conversation, as a bug, feature request or suggestion, an the other way around.

Sorry if I was not clear about it or if I misunderstand the purpose of Debbugs and the Emacs ML.

Regards,

Roland.

You are aware this is how the Emacs bug mailing list works? They run
Debbugs. Org is part of the Emacs mailing list, and so a tracker is already in
place. Emails with keywords open and close tickets.

https://debbugs.gnu.org/Emacs.html

You can view them online, search, and submit reports directly from Emacs.

Bastien sometimes CC's the Org list with Emacs bugs by number for discussion.
