I hope there is some better solution than sending single bug reports

reports I wonder how I can automatically create such bug reports with always the same text, just targeting at different binary packages.

This also should include some means to work around the less than 5
bug reports per hour SPAM protection means of BTS.

clone the bug however many time you need and retitle the clones? What matters for the ftp tooling is just the bug title, pretty much.
That's one single email...

I admit I love this hint and tried to follow it first by this mail

https://lists.debian.org/debian-r/2024/03/msg00006.html
To: submit@bugs.debian.org, Debian R <debian-r@lists.debian.org>

where I received the response "Package is missing" from BTS. So I
simply tried to send this to some existing bug

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1063376#53
by bouncing it to 1063376@bugs.debian.org

Seems I did not understood BTS syntax and something is missing since
nothing seems to happen regarding creation of new bugs.

Any hint what might be wrong here?

Kind regards
Andreas.

What you are trying to accomplish is no regular bug reporting but some manipulation of existing bugs. Hence the control server must be used directly by sending your mail to control@bugs.debian.org instead of submit@... See also the first sentence on

Have fun,
Micha

Thanks for guiding me patiently
Andreas.
