[Reportbug-maint] Bug#648185: reportbug: ftp.debian.org RM bugs should get X-Debbugs-CC: maintainer

Package: reportbug

Version: 6.3
Severity: normal

Hi, 

while filing a removal bug (#648063), I noticed (afterwards) that I would
have liked it to explicitely CC the maintainers of said package. For this to
happen, I think that when filing "RM" bugs for source packages, reportbug 
could automatically add those pseudo-headers:

X-Debbugs-CC: ${src:package}@packages.qa.debian.org
X-PTS-Approved: 1
Affects: src:${src:package}

(The X-PTS-Approved header is needed for the X-Debbugs-CC to work, as per
devref.)

That way, RM bugs not filed by the maintainer are brought to the maintainer's
ears by two channels: as a mail and as a bug appearing on the
http://bugs.debian.org/src:${src:package} page.

What do you think ?

Cheers, 

OdyX
