I missed that thread last August. The argument (from Eli) was that
having the bug-gnu-emacs moderators also moderate the bug tracker email
would be too much of a burden for them. As one of the bug-gnu-emacs
moderators, I don't believe this would be the case. To me, it is
scarcely more effort to moderate 10 messages than 1; indeed, finding only
1 message is an anti-climax, and finding none at all is a major let down.
;-). At least one of my colleagues on b-g-e is super efficient, since I
rarely see much on the moderation page.
So, yes, let's moderate the bug-tracker. How easy is this to set up?
What does Don say?
