Hi Noam,

Thanks for the patch. In general, it works fine, so I guess you could
push it. We (I)'ll play then for some days, and if there's no serious
complaint, I'll make a new debbugs release.

But I still have some comments :-)

Please rename

debbugs-control-make-message → debbugs-gnu-make-control-message
debbugs-control-message-keywords → debbugs-gnu-control-message-keywords
debbugs-control-message-commands-regexp → 
debbugs-gnu-control-message-commands-regexp
debbugs-control-message-end-regexp → debbugs-gnu-control-message-end-regexp

Please add (the keybindings of) debbugs-gnu-make-control-message to the
Commentary sections of debbugs-gnu.el and debbugs-org.el and to the nodes
"Tabulated Lists" and "TODO Items" of debbugs-ug.texi.

Compiling debbugs-gnu.el results in

debbugs-gnu.el:1534:1:Warning: Unused lexical variable ‘addr’
debbugs-gnu.el:1552:1:Warning: Unused lexical variable ‘micro’
debbugs-gnu.el:1552:1:Warning: Unused lexical variable ‘subject’

Maybe you can fix it?

Yes, unfortunately, the info file must be there. Don't worry about, I'll
regenerate.

I suppose "user" is needed in case of debbugs-gnu-make-control-message
only. Could we separate this, and offer completion only for that
function?

You have removed the bug number completion via
debbugs-gnu-expand-bug-number-list. Why?

Please mention, that this is used in order to avoid giving the user name
again, for further commands.

Best regards, Michael.
