I am very sorry to hear that. As written in the original mail, I would have refrained from doing the bulk change, if there would have been a clear veto. There was none but instead there was quite some encouragement. I would have replied to your question on the -qa list, if I had seen it. I am not subscribed to libreoffice-qa (so far, I hestitated to do so as I get >200 mails per days as is). As the list is not on nabble.documentfoundation.org, which I use to keep an overview of unsubscribed lists, I just kept a look at: http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.qa which I just realized misses out a lot of mails, which is _very_ unfortunate in this case. > If you effect the change you mention, I will receive potentially thousands of > e-mail notifications in my mailbox, similar to the changes you made earlier > this week, and which I had to then try and separate out from the new bug > reports being declared. There is rather easy to do: Bugzilla sends a "X-Bugzilla-Who:" header field, which you could send your Mailfilter after. > My issue with that is that I appear to be subscribed by default to all > new bugs ever created (I don't know why this is so, but it is). Well, that is really odd. It is most certainly _not_ the default and if you dont know why this is the case, it is a misconfiguration that should be investigated. As Rainer reported, he got a few hundred emails, but for endusers the impact should have been be rather limited -- there are no more than 13 people with more that 10 reported NEEDINFO bugs. > I'm taking a break from QA. I am very sorry to hear this. Even if I would unfortunatetly have missed your first mail anyway (see above), I would have expected anyone considering such severe steps to voice a clear veto to my mail. Is there any way I can heal the damage done to your confidence in the project? All the Best and a sincere Sorry, Bjoern _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
