once in a while I get a bunch of email from NEEDINFO bugs I'm on CC.
it doesn't disturbs me at all.
Developers have complained about it - and have asked that we do it
sparingly.


Best,
Joel

I've read it into the mailing list.
I think that if we start pinging just the UNCONFIRMED bugs it won't hurt devs since most of the time they are not in CC list of those bugs.

regarding the NEW bugs we may exclude the easy hacks because of the automated dev list mail issue that Jan reported.

however I still think that we should ping those old NEW bugs...
I'm closing many of them after personal retest...

if we mark them as RESOLVED WORKSFORME we give a message to all the people in CC list that will see that the project is improving, moreover getting rid of all those old fixed bug which still appaer as NEW would improve our stats and will help us during search for duplicates since they would not appear in queries.

I agree we should not do it too frequently...
I think we could do a "Ping retest" every 6 months which would be just twice a year.

cheers, Tommaso
