As you may remember I started a discussion about 3 weeks ago, about splitting
the documentation related bugzilla notification mails for httpd into
a separate
mailing list. As the discussion revealed, there had been voices (or better a
voice as far as can remember) that did not like removing the documentation
notifications from bugs@ and sent them exlusively to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
So I tried to find a solution that fits both needs. Meanwhile
[email protected] has been created and I tried to get bugs@
subscribed
to docs-bugs@ to get the notifications sent to both lists as bugzilla only
accepts one target mail address for notifications.
But the subscription of bugs@ to docs-bugs@ turns out to be
difficult and is not
recommended according to Roy's comments in the JIRA ticket. He proposed two
different solutions instead:
1. Add a header to the documentaion mails of bugzilla (needs to be checked if
this is possible). This would allow people who subscribe to bugs@ to
filter for
documentation bugs and discard everything else if they like. Of course this
requires a mail client that is capable of doing this and of course a user that
is capable of configuring this :-).
2. Sent a weekly summary of documentation bugs to docs@
From my point of view 1. is to inconvenient for users and 2. lets
too much time
pass between the creation of the bug and the announcement to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From my personal point of view I still think that the best solution
to sent all
documentation related bugs to docs-bugs@ exclusively. But my personal point of
view does not matter that much in this case :-).
FWIW, I'd like to subscribe to a docs-bugs list, but
unsubscribed from bugs@ due to volume.
How about creating a new forwarding address (not a list),
such as docs-bugs-alias@, and forwarding all mail it receives to both
bugs@ & [EMAIL PROTECTED] That avoids the list-subscribed-to-list issue.
