Okay, I will change the current changelog to that. Are bugs in the BTS
really closed when an upload into experimental takes place? I always
thought that the BTS reflects the state of sid, so that experimental
uploads don't close bugs. Hmmm.

Okay, then I will continue to use it. It is just quite an effort to
get an overview of the open and closed bugs since you cannot display
them on one page (at least I did not find out how).

No, of course not the mainling list. I thought about the text file
'postgresbugs' I pasted into the original mail that contains the bug
classification. But if you want to initialize the alioth bug tracker
properly, then this list is deprecated. I agree that the tracker is
certainly a more appropriate mean.
