Indeed -- that's a much better written set of instructions than my
rather off-the-cuff e-mail.

The 'Severity' field is clearly aimed at bug reports, and doesn't really
make sense for change requests like this.  I tend to use 'Serious'
because while it's clearly not critical, 'non-critical' seems too
trivial.  I think it's really a flaw in Gnats that those fields can be
set by the person submitting the bug report.  I think they should be
only be settable by whoever analyzes the report or works on resolving
it[*].

Yes -- it's a Change request.  That's actually what I said, although in
retrospect I could have expressed it more clearly.  Rule of thumb is
it's always a change request unless your e-mail address as Maintainer in
the Makefile has been committed to CVS

I don't think anything I said is terribly at variance with your document
and I think I prefer what you say there anyhow.  Is it likely to be
added to the Porter's Handbook or appear on the FreeBSD website as a
stand-alone article?

	Cheers,

[*] Did anyone have any good suggestions for a replacement for Gnats
yet?  I know there is a desire to replace it with something better.
