It would be wonderful if ~debbugs-gnu~ and ~debbugs-gnu-search~ used
their own thread/process to wait & process the server's response,
instead of forcing me to twiddle my thumbs for minutes.
+** Attachment management
+Thanks to Bob Proulx, I learned that one can
+
+1. send attachments to nnn-quiet@debbugs.gnu.org,
+2. (for large attachments, wait for moderation,)
+3. go to https://debbugs.gnu.org/nnn and grab the URLs for the
+ attachments,
+4. send a followup mentioning these URLs to nnn@debbugs.gnu.org.
+
+When compared to simply attaching files to one's messages, this
+ensures (1) only large attachments get moderated: reports and patches
+keep flowing freely (2) mail clients do not stall while browsing
+threads, since messages sent to -quiet are not forwarded to the
+mailing list.
+
+It'd be neat if Debbugs had a way to automate the -quiet attachment
+trick, e.g.
+
+- send some attachments to nnn-attach@debbugs.gnu.org,
+- Debbugs then sends a mail to nnn@debbugs.gnu.org saying:
+ #+begin_example
+ John Doe <jdoe@gnu.org> attached:
+ config.log (150 kB) <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=nnn;filename=config.log…>
+ repro.sh (400 B) <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=nnn;filename=repro.sh…>
