RE: [GRASS-dev] spam in bug tracker

And the problem is more widespread than the ones I originally posted; I've
encountered about six more yesterday alone.

Besides calling on friends in low places?

After a period of cursing, create a new bug, copy over relevant

content,

close the old bug, and hope it doesn't happen again. If Intevation can
track down the offending IP range and has the energy, blacklist the
bastards (mostly as a feel-good measure for us).

or maybe Intevation can edit the bug's record by hand? (again, wasted
energy better used for something else)

[...]

Probably the migration to a new bugtracker solves the problem
(see recent mail from Jan).
