Yes, that's what I meant.  We would do all the things I mentioned,
usually at the same time, when a bug report is identified as being for
a package instead of Octave itself.  So you should only be seeing
notifications about bugs reported for Octave Forge packages, not every
Octave bug report.

I'm willing to discuss it.

But for now, is what I outlined OK with everyone?
