Where people are adding the tags as a matter of routine it's commonly because others find it useful to have them rather than for their own direct benefit, the workflow is someone else's. People come along later and want to follow the trail back from git to the mailing list - for example my main use case is that I've got a bisected test failure and want to tell someone who might care about it while also checking to see if the issue has already been reported. Sure, dig will work for that most of the time but it's heuristic based and it's something people have to install. =20 I happen to already have tip of tree b4 to hand anyway for other reasons so it's a relatively small speedbump for me personally but it's hard to get enthusiastic about. --dAncuYLcXXYc/Z/I Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAmjwFMMACgkQJNaLcl1U h9DgZAf7Bxt6oUw7Jn6WPFrZ9/4S3zdc+0XyRTcr15Gw0B/ZVSeFbvfO2RtVwqu0 gnasbxj7uBcNiOBftSprG9ZYHW7zbScy6qdwkgI82aLY54R44+ZXZeleWALwbSvp bX9eD2ytZe5bXtJoZyIRG/UIIKnvTsOj1oE6E6ON6d2xxLxKAtByFtHbBX+/53Ba TmXFmv0/TbGVUDpXV0EpaqYOjscsPCa82WhG5PWPfL2H2+LBDjrH9kdWUjFADqmu LKa5uDW0rJTW5mpfK/6RHvGTepFJsiO0CTs2mlumscynCeVwzJ/V5fM7I1Z0Hgtf N0C8gkYrYfUC6d73qh2/Ieyi83N6eA== =P7Tn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --dAncuYLcXXYc/Z/I--
