Yes, that's documented on https://tails.boum.org/contribute/
and https://tails.boum.org/contribute/relationship_with_upstream/.

Thanks a lot for pointing this out!

It's clear that we've not been doing a good job at usertagging our
bugs in the Debian BTS. Mainly for two reasons I believe:

1. most of us have no idea this is possible, let alone how to do it
2. as you notice below, it's broken somehow, so not useful at all in
the current state of things

This is too bad, since I am working on a "how to help Tails, from
a Debian developer point of view" document that would benefit very
much from an accurate and up-to-date view of "our" bugs in the
Debian BTS.

Right. I don't know if our request is at fault, or if the BTS is
buggy. Other teams make good use of usertags, so presumably our
request should be fixed.

Care to file a "Fix request for Tails-related bugs on the Debian BTS"
ticket with this information, and/or work on this any further?

Cheers,
