I'd suggest a report on how the input went, like:

  The tag patch you sent on xxx, received on xxx has been processed
  successfully.

  Thanks for your contribution.

  The Central Debtags Archive

Or:

  The tag patch you sent on xxx, received on xxx has not been processed
  because of xxx.  You should try xxx./You should report xxx.

  Thanks for your contribution.

  The Central Debtags Archive

A feedback mail would serve both as a confirmation that the work has
been considered and as a deterrent for multiple sends (you play too much
with the send button, you receive a lot of mail :) .

I've sent the first test mails with the categorization I did so far.
How did it go?

If everything is ok, and if the messages are parsed automatically
witout your intervention, I'll go on and upload the send-enabled
debtags-edit.

If there have been errors or you need to parse messages by hand please
tell me, as this interface tends to make it simple to push the
submit button and I could try changing it a bit.  (however, I think it's
not a bad idea to have submissions to be a simple thing, and the program
is quite neat that way!)


Ciao,

Enrico
