I started thinking about it when https://bugs.gentoo.org/351922 was filed (this is only an example). The SECURITY keyword is not applied consistently (~80 bugs total), but the description says "Add this on all security related issues." > Do other keywords[1] like "Bug" add confusion too? Yes, the same way. > Is it worthwhile to remove the SECURITY keyword from 79 bugs... > > ...if you consider that (if everyone gets keyword-changes bugzilla mails, > it's an "Email Preference"[2] configurable in bugzilla) > 79 mails are sent to 11 + 63 + other CC'ed recipients? I wonder how many e-mails would be sent if we used the "Change several bugs at once" Bugzilla feature. My guess is just one e-mail. > ...if the keyword modification mails weren't sent > but one of our infra members had to spend time on this? Oh, I guess infra would reject spending time on this (low benefit to effort ratio indeed). Maybe we can just update description of obsolete KEYWORDS with something like "*** DEPRECATED *** don't use for new bugs". That should be easy and address most of my original point.
