I would be more open to turn that down (e.g. by reducing it to one daily mail). > I don't see the need to duplicate that in bugzilla. Bugzilla is way more targeted though: It does not spam the world but a smaller audience (which is CC'ed). Im open to make these easily mail-filterable for those core devs who dont want the additional traffic. But as Michael pointed out its ~5 mails per day for the whole project, so even someone who is subscribed to a lot of those would maybe get 1 or 2 a day. > >>I'm also equally concerned about fragmenting our discussion > >>platforms.

Because non-core devs dont read the high traffic -dev list.

Even if you are subscribed to a lot of bugs this will give you give 1 daily extra mail which you can easily filter. But it will give others who deeply care about this issue a hint that there is an opportunity to get involved here in a way that they care about. To put it differently: If you dont even want a mail about a patch being proposed to fix a bug, I would seriously reinvestigate the policy that gets you CC'ed on these bugs. Essentially there is no other notfication that can be that important. > So, I have to be honest.

I suggest the thesis that that will only make us stay in the workflow equivalent of the uncanny valley(*) longer than needed for the pain of everyone.
