[issue19826] Document that bug reporting by email is possible
New submission from anatoly techtonik: I found this to be convenient: http://techtonik.rainforce.org/2013/11/roundup-tracker-create-issues-by-emai... And this is missing from here: http://docs.python.org/release/2.7/bugs.html#using-the-python-issue-tracker Anf from here: http://docs.python.org/devguide/triaging.html Disclaimer: I didn't sign the CLA, and people keep telling me that I need it to do documentation edits. But I edit Wikipedia freely and I find it wrong that I can not edit Python documentation without signing papers. So I am not sending patches until either Wikipedia requires CLA to edit its contents, or PSF abandons its ill FUD policies in favor of creating collaborative environment. Regarding my aforementioned blog post, feel free to copy-paste it, as an author I release this into CC0/public domain. Ask python-legal-sig if it is enough. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 204693 nosy: docs@python, techtonik priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document that bug reporting by email is possible _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19826> _______________________________________

Mike Short added the comment: Same addition to the Python Dev Guide - seemed more appropriate on the tracker page vs. the triaging page. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file36526/tracker.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19826> _______________________________________
R. David Murray added the comment: I'd be just as happy to not document this. The fact that you need an account first means that people will try to submit without an account, and get a bounce. It also works better when people reply on the bug tracker rather than by email. I'd not want to take the capability away, but I'd prefer to not document or encourage it. That, however, is just my opinion. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19826> _______________________________________
Mark Lawrence added the comment: I agree with David, I've noticed several messages recently that are mostly untrimmed replies to email so essentially have no actual content. ---------- nosy: +BreamoreBoy _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19826> _______________________________________
Brett Cannon added the comment: And I agree with David and Mark. Thanks for the attempt at a patch, Mike, but in hindsight we are going to have to turn down your contribution. ---------- resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19826> _______________________________________
