The emacs BTS is so stupid.

It keeps sending me mails, each one of which,


  +1 110713 13|-4.3|GNU bug Tracki:bug#5671 acknowledged by developer (control message for bug #5671)
  +1 110713 13|-4.3|GNU bug Tracki:bug#5071 acknowledged by developer (control message for bug #5071)
  +1 110713 13|-4.3|GNU bug Tracki:bug#5154 acknowledged by developer (control message for bug #5154)
  +1 110713 13|-4.3|GNU bug Tracki:bug#5401 acknowledged by developer (control message for bug #5401)

  +1 110714 13|-4.3|GNU bug Tracki:bug#7685 acknowledged by developer (control message for bug #5568)

has no details of why the bug was closed, and forces me to click the
link provided for details.

The Debian BTS never had this problem.

That's because I send the explanation in a separate email.  It's not a
(mis)feature of the Emacs bug tracker itself.

A. All the parts A arrived first. A mailbox full of no explanations.
B. Later the other parts arrived. A mailbox full of pairs that needed to
be paired up. And lots.

I bet you are not using the proper way to close bugs like the Real
Debian Developers do. At least their parts A have the reason included.

Or the BTS should be fixed to force it to work right.
