Hi, I have identified a couple of bugs that I would like to file on https://bugs.r-project.org/ . Reading the archives, I found that the bugzilla account creation is not automated anymore and must be mannually requested on this mailing list. Can an administrator please create an account for me?

I'm not sure what part of what "archive" was the source of this misinformation, but what I read in "the archives" (which I'm defining broadly by my use of Markmail in this instance) is that you are supposed to contact the administrator individually for permission. http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.r-project+bugzilla+account Almost all of the bug discussion is on R-devel rather than r-help. My understanding is that suspected bugs should be posted to that mailing list unless you are a very experienced R-user with tested bug-fix code that you intend to submit. I've confirmed my sometimes hazy memory by reading the Posting Guide and following embedded link regarding bug reporting to: https://www.r-project.org/bugs.html

The fact that you are posting in HTML is an additional black mark against you. Rhelp is a plain text mailing list. You should definitely read the Posting Guide before proceeding.

The gist of my post was that accounts must be requested through a mailing list. As you correctly clarified, though, the R-devel list should be used, not R-help. I am quite sure of the bugs I have identified, but will report them on R-devel for good form. Best regards, Florent
