Don't know, I'm not a debbugs moderator from the beginning.

Given, that I'm almost the only moderator these days, I wouldn't like to
check out. Remember, it isn't only Emacs bugs which go through.

If there would be more debbugs ML moderators, it might be worth to
try. My occasional requests to volunteer die away unheard. No surprise,
given the bad reputation people rank debbugs here.

Best regards, Michael.
