There was a small, easily missed note about that in the long mail that started this thread: ``` * Initially it won't be possible to track reports that are filed in bug trackers; but this use-case will be kept in mind during the design to make sure such a functionality can be added later easily. ``` When I wrote that I mainly had the bug trackers used by the ACPI/PM and DRM people in mind, but yes, making sure that it works for distro tracker as well is a good point. Thx for bringing this to my attention. And FWIW: I might leave that out initially, but I guess it won't take too long before I will add this. Ciao, Thorsten
