Hey, I propose to change the ASF JIRA config for the CLOUDSTACK project in a way that it doesn't send out mails to -dev on *every* change, especially for description edits, comment edits, comment additions etc. and only do it for important events, like issue creation, status updates, assignee changes etc.
It's pretty easy to accidentally click on the description area (which makes an editable text area appear and pre-selects all text) and to delete or replace all text with a single keystroke. If you click outside the text area then, the changes get saved and instantly mailed to -dev. I agree that transparency and awareness about bug reports is very important, but probably not everybody on -dev is interested in any change to any issue, so just sending out the important notifications to -dev and allowing people to add themselves as watchers to a JIRA issue if they are interested in particular ones could reduce the number of uninteresting mails for most people. Cheers, Wolfram
