You're in the "automatically accept" list, so your messages should go
through to the bug tracker without moderation.  But I don't see it in
the debbugs-submit archive.  Strange; I'll investigate.


Some of your criticisms boil down to "the bug page displays too much
information which is distracting to users".  Fair enough, I'll take a
look at whether we can hide some of this information.  (Though, to my
eyes, the average Emacs bug page is a lot less intimidating looking
than, say, than average Launchpad bug page, which has about ten times
the number of "angry fruit salad" links, so tastes clearly differ.)
