I had the idea of creating a script that would tell me which bug numbers have unanswered mails.
The idea is simple: get me all the bug numbers for which the last message posted has not been sent neither by me nor by any of the comaintainers.
Firstly, I needed a script that gives the e-mail address of the sender of the last message received for a given bug:
$ mkdir cache
$ ./getlast 370102
enrico@debian.org
Then I needed a srcipt that gives the bug numbers currently in open state for a given source package:
$ ./getopen debtags
246678
277626
290457
[...]
Finally I needed to correlate the information from a maintainer database with the results of the previous scripts:
$ ./show-unanswered enrico@enricozini.org enrico@debian.org
Buffy comaintained by xxxxxxx@debian.org, xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xx
bug #269386 answered by me
bug #293898 answered by me
bug #294436 answered by comaintainer xxxxxxx@debian.org
bug #300444 answered by me
bug #372513 answered by comaintainer xxxxxxx@debian.org
bug #383610 answered by comaintainer xxxxxxx@debian.org
bug #384108 unanswered message from xxxxxxxx@debian.org
bug #384116 unanswered message from xxxxxxxx@debian.org
[...]
This could make some people happy.
You can get it with bzr branch http://people.debian.org/~enrico/bts-utils
