=== New Debian mailing lists ===

The Debian listmasters have recently created these new mailing lists:

 * [[https://lists.debian.org/debian-bazel/|debian-bazel]]: for discussions related to packaging, using and building with Bazel, a build system created by Google
 * [[https://lists.debian.org/debian-localgroups/|debian-localgroups]]: for discussions related to local Debian groups, such as co-ordinating between them, organising events and other activities
 * [[https://lists.debian.org/debian-rust/|debian-rust]]: for discussions related to packaging, using and building with Rust, a programming language originally created by Mozilla

=== Debian bug tracker changes ===

The Debian bug tracker now supports setting usertags for multiple users at bug submission time. Each Usertags pseudo-header sets the usertags for the last User psuedo-header, or for the bug submitter if there was no User pseudo-header. This is especially useful for setting usertags for a team with multiple users, setting usertags for multiple teams, or setting the [[https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Debbugs/ArchitectureTags|architecture usertags]] for bugs affecting multiple architectures, for example:

{{{
User: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386
User: debian-hurd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: hurd-i386
}}}

The Tags and Usertags pseudo-headers used at bug submission time are now correctly pluralised, so Tag and Usertag will work too in case you use them accidentally.

News for Debian developers

This wiki page collects small news that all developers should know but that are not worth a dedicated mail to debian-devel-announce. Follow the template "Example of news" and add your news below it. If there are some other items already, please sort your item in descending order of importance to the Debian development community. See /Help for more information on how to write entries. If you have any questions, please ask the publicity team or the Debian English localisation mailing-list.

If you are able to post to debian-devel-announce (all Debian members can) and there are 5 or more items below, you might want to send out the news. To send out a new issue, you can use this helper script to generate the email version of this page. After generating the mail, proof-read it, correct any spelling, formatting or grammatical errors and send out the mail. Once the mail is sent and archived, please delete the items that were sent, add a link to the archived mail in the Previous news section and mention the mail in ProjectNews.
