Following Debian bug mailing lists mail for one bug


Joachim Breitner has made it possible to follow Debian bugs list traffic for one specific bug. Very helpful, since the bugs lists tend to be high volume. From Debian Bug Subscription Feature:
Something that I have been missing for along time is the posibility to subscribe to single bugs in our bugtracking system. ...

It is currenlty in "first usable state with minimum features". To use it, send a mail to nomeata-subscribe@gluck.debian.org with the bugnumer [sic] (and only the bug number, nothing else, not even a #) in the Subject. From then on, you should get any mail on debian-bugs-dist@l.d.o that concerns that bug.

There is currently no way to unsubscribe. Not too bad, since bugs tend to be fixed someday, but certainly a TODO. Also, there is no confirmation question, nothing to prevent you from recieving the same mail twice. There is a Anti-Mailloop-Feature, I hope it works.
l.d.o. is lists.debian.org, of course.
