Back when Bugzilla was put in place I suggested that bugs only be sent

then the rest would happen off the list.  If you cared about a bug you
subscribed to it.  If you didn't then you wouldn't see it after the
first entry.  We really aren't taking full advantage of the power of
Bugzilla... Why shove every bug report and comment down everyone's email
pipe?  It's entirely wasteful of our time to delete stuff we just don't
care about.


I agree, but I'd question even sending the first report. Aren't people supposed to be searching Bugzilla first ? If they run into something, searching Bugzilla seems a lot more straightforward than hoping that you remember some mail that flew by a month or so ago.


Also, one of the problems with Bugzilla is that certain categories (like Installation) bypass sending mail to anybody at Mandrake *except* the Cooker ML.
