How to reply to an existing bug?

I found an existing bug report and have something to add to it.

What's the best way to reply to it? Just using a browser, with no
newsreader installed.

This one:
/messages/by-id/20170925084522.1442.32786@wrigleys.postgresql.org

I want to add a related question on stackoverflow.com
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50553558/postgresql-add-serial-column-if-not-exists-still-creating-sequences/50557433

And that the same bug has been carried over to IDENTITY columns.

Regards

I think that warrants a new bug report (maybe with a reference to the previous one).

There is no way to do that from the browser alone in the archives. The
easiest you can do is download the thread mbox (one is available for each
thread, so you don't have do download a whole month worth of email) and
open it in your mail program. That should give you an option to reply from
there, and the reply will properly have the references required to enter
the thread properly.
