I don't think the bugzilla mail is entirely useless. But I don't think we're getting the most use out of bugzilla that we can. I still don't think sending every single message to the list is a great idea. I really don't care to see status change messages on some of these bug reports, or a message for every single attachment that gets uploaded. This applies to your developers as much as to us contributors. Part of the point of bugzilla is to filter what bug reports they need to see. Sending all of that mail to this list totally defeats that. As is since some people still aren't reporting bugs via bugzilla, they have to read this list anyway. Which means they are left filtering through bugzilla emails. At best they can filter them... but I think you see my point. > Bugzilla accomplishes the same goal as cooker, that is to say fix > upcoming mandrake release.
