Sounds perfect to me. I thought I had suggested that, too ?
Maybe there was a big misunderstanding on that.

Until October your script will have to filter out bugs from
the -devel list unless someone else checks the -bugs list
settings and enables whatever is necessary. After October
10th I'm fine to do that, too.

I don't have to agree. You can just do it without need for
permission. It's open source, after all, so we are happy
about people *doing* something.

My suggestion would be "normal" but since you likely know
the tracker better than me I'd suggest hashing it out with
Jerzy, Sebastian and Jim while I'm having impaired access.

Your earlier suggestion to label them with at least
"auto-created by talkback client" is a good one IMO. There
could be other tags but I suggest deciding as it goes.

If you do the above please email me instructions on how I
get Launchpad to keep me posted on the tracker items. I
likely won't get around to doing that before October,
though.

Thanks,
