Bug Description
Me and knome drank some coffee and thought about the problems of guiding people wanting to help to bring their contributions as far as possible. We thought the biggest gap was the one between Launchpad and the developer pages, the packaging guide and the wiki instructions, and the leap from attaching a patch to following the guidelines.
To aid Operation Cleansweep to bring down the number of bugs with random patches, we thought the patch message by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot could be improved, for example...
from:
"The attachment "Bugfix #NR" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.
[This is an automated message performed by a Launchpad user owned by ~brian-murray, for any issues please contact him.]"

"The attachment "Bugfix #NR" seems to be a patch. Please consider working on it further according to sponsorhip guidelines at https:/
