Not everyone who replied was in favor.  I, for one, am not.

I would prefer to separate most bug discussions from the rest of emacs-devel
discussion. If there were a merge to be made, I would prefer that it be
emacs-pretest with bug-gnu-emacs - but perhaps that could lead to confusion.

I might be a minority of one on this, however. You are right that most
people in the previous discussion were in favor of merging emacs-pretest
with emacs-devel.
