If you subscribe to core-dev and use gmail, you might be interested in a quick script I wrote to log into my e-mail and re-write JIRA subject lines, to fix the threading in gmail. This way "Updated", "Commented", and "Created" messages all appear in the same thread.
The code is at http://github.com/philz/jira-rewrite/tree/master . I've pasted in a bit of the documentation and a sample run below. -- Philip Re-writes JIRA subject lines to remove JIRA's "Updated/Commented/Created" annotations. JIRA's default subjects break Gmail's threading (which threads by subject line); making the subject line uniform unbreaks Gmail's threading. Specifically, this looks at every message in --source, does a search and replace with --regex and --replace (defaults are for JIRA subject lines), and puts the modified message in --dest. The original message is moved to --backup. # EXAMPLE OUTPUT: # $ python rewritejira.py --username [email protected] --source hadoop-jira --dest hadoop-jira-rewritten --backup hadoop-jira-orig # Password: # INFO:__main__:Looking at 3 messages. # INFO:__main__:[3] Subject: '[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-5649) Enable ServicePlugins for the\r\n JobTracker' -> '(HADOOP-5649) Enable ServicePlugins for the\r\n JobTracker' # INFO:__main__:[2] Subject: '[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-5581) libhdfs does not get\r\n FileNotFoundException' -> '(HADOOP-5581) libhdfs does not get\r\n FileNotFoundException' # INFO:__main__:[1] Subject: '[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-5638) More improvement on block placement\r\n performance' -> '(HADOOP-5638) More improvement on block placement\r\n performance' # INFO:__main__:Rewrote 3 messages.
