Sometimes people file reports in the gcc bug tracking system GNATS which
have already been reported to the Debian system. They then enter the
latter system's address address into the CC-field of the GNATS report.
Now when someone changes something at a report within GNATS, the change
message also goes to the Debian system, which answers with an automatic
receipt message. This receipt message is sometimes picked up by GNATS
automatically as a new report, in which the submitter is the Debian
system, and the Debian system also sometimes picks up the GNATS change
message as a new report.
We need to break this loop. I think it would be sufficient if the Debian
system would not send "Thanks you, we received your report" messages to
gnats, but I don't know how hard that is to change...
Regards
Wolfgang
