+<dt><code>tags</code> <var>bugnumber</var> [ <code>+</code> | <code>-</code> | <code>=</code> ] <var>tag</var> [ <var>tag</var> ... ]
+
+ <dd>Sets tags for the $gBug report #<var>bugnumber</var>. No notification
+ is sent to the user who reported the $gBug. Setting the action to
+ <code>+</code> means to add each given <var>tag</var>, <code>-</code>
+ means to remove each given <var>tag</var>, and <code>=</code> means to
+ ignore the current tags and set them afresh to the list provided. The
+ default action is adding.
+
+ <p>Example usage:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ # same as 'tags 123456 + patch'
+ tags 123456 patch
+
+ # same as 'tags 123456 + help security'
+ tags 123456 help security
+
+ # add 'fixed' and 'pending' tags
+ tags 123456 + fixed pending
+
+ # remove 'unreproducible' tag
+ tags 123456 - unreproducible
+
+ # set tags to exactly 'moreinfo' and 'unreproducible'
+ tags 123456 = moreinfo unreproducible
+ </pre>

+
+<dt><code>block</code>|<code>unblock</code> <var>bugnumber</var> <code>by</code>|<code>with</code> <var>bug</var> [ <var>bug</var> ... ]
+
+ <dd>Use to note that one bug blocks another bug from being fixed.
+ The first listed bug is the one being blocked, and it is followed
+ by the bug or bugs that are blocking it. Use <code>unblock</code>
+ to unblock a bug.
+
+ <p>Example usage:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ # indicates that 7890 cannot be fixed until 123456 is fixed
+ block 7890 by 123456
+ # indicates that 7890 can be fixed before 123456 after all
+ unblock 7890 by 123456
+ </pre>
+
+<dt><code>close</code> <var>bugnumber</var> [ <var>fixed-version</var> ]
+ (deprecated)
+
+ <dd>Close $gBug report #<var>bugnumber</var>.
+
+ <p>A notification is sent to the user who reported the $gBug, but (in
+ contrast to mailing <var>bugnumber</var><code>-done@$gEmailDomain</code>) the
+ text of the mail which caused the $gBug to be closed is <strong>not</strong>
+ included in that notification. The maintainer who closes a report
+ should ensure, probably by sending a separate message, that the user
+ who reported the $gBug knows why it is being closed.
+ The use of this command is therefore deprecated.
+
+ <p>If you supply a <var>fixed-version</var>, the $gBug tracking system
+ will note that the $gBug was fixed in that version of the package.
+
+<dt><code>package</code> [ <var>packagename</var> ... ]
+
+ <dd>Limits the following commands so that they will only apply to bugs
+ filed against the listed packages. You can list one or more packages. If
+ you don't list any packages, the following commands will apply to all
+ bugs. You're encouraged to use this as a safety feature in case you
+ accidentally use the wrong bug numbers.
+
+ <p>Example usage:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ package foo
+ reassign 123456 bar 1.0-1
+
+ package bar
+ retitle 123456 bar: bar sucks
+ severity 123456 normal
+
+ package
+ severity 234567 wishlist
+ </pre>
+
+<dt><code>owner</code> <var>bugnumber</var> <var>address</var> | <code>!</code>
+
+ <dd>Sets <var>address</var> to be the "owner" of #<var>bugnumber</var>.
+ The owner of a $gBug claims responsibility for fixing it.
+ This is useful to share out work in cases where a
+ package has a team of maintainers.
+
+ <p>If you wish to become the owner of the $gBug yourself, you can use the
+ <code>!</code> shorthand or specify your own email address.</p>
+
+<dt><code>noowner</code> <var>bugnumber</var>
+
+ <dd>Forgets any idea that the $gBug has an owner other than the usual
+ maintainer. If the $gBug had no owner recorded then this will do nothing.
+
+<dt><code>archive</code> <var>bugnumber</var>
+
+ <dd>Archives a $gBug that was previously archived if the $gBug
+ fulfills the requirements for archival, ignoring time.
+
+<dt><code>unarchive</code> <var>bugnumber</var>
+
+ <dd>Unarchives a $gBug that was previously archived. Unarchival
+ should generally be coupled with reopen and found/fixed as
+ approprite. Bugs that have been unarchived can be archived using
+ archive assuming the non-time based archival requirements are met.
+
+<dt><code>#</code>...
+
+ <dd>One-line comment. The <code>#</code> must be at the start of the line.
+ The text of comments will be included in the acknowledgement sent to the
+ sender and to affected maintainers, so you can use this to document the
+ reasons for your commands.
+
+<dt><code>quit</code>
+<dt><code>stop</code>
+<dt><code>thank</code>
+<dt><code>thanks</code>
+<dt><code>thankyou</code>
+<dt><code>thank you</code>
+<dt><code>--</code>
+<!-- #366093, I blame you! -->
+<!-- <dt><code>kthxbye</code> -->
+<!-- See... I documented it! -->
+
+ <dd>On a line by itself, in any case, possibly followed by
+ whitespace, tells the control server to stop processing the
+ message; the remainder of the message can include explanations,
+ signatures or anything else, none of it will be detected by the
+ control server.
