Package: devscripts
Version: 2.16.10
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

1. The documentation of 'bts select' reads:

   1072 =item B<bugs>
   1073 
   1074 List of bugs to search within.

Please document the syntax of the list.  (What delimiters are accepted?
Commas, whitespace, colons, …?)

2. The documentation of 'bts limit' reads:

   1862 =item B<date>
   1863 
   1864 Date the bug was submitted.

Please document the acceptable date formats.  (Unix timestamps?  ISO
8601 strings?)

I couldn't find any documenation on the debbugs side of things, either.

Cheers,

Daniel
