Sorry to bring you into the middle of a discussion. The whole thread
starts at 
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-debbugs/2023-12/msg00013.html>
and is continued at 
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-debbugs/2024-01/msg00000.html>

You can access also the mailing list via gmane group gmane.comp.gnu.debbugs.
