I agree completely with Ben about the bugzilla setup. I understand you
position warly on the use of bugzilla, I've had to use similar (though
far simpler) troublshooting tools during beta periods for our OC48
Packet Over Sonet Cards we were designing at Nortel. The idea though was
to ensure that, as Ben said, the people who need the information get it.
If I'm troubleshooting a problem, which is largely unlikely as I'm no
expert, I only need to be concerned with the problem. If I'm ready to
solve a new one, I need to be able to see what's currently out there to
solve, and pick it up.

The final note is this. You, Warly et Mandrakesoft, are in charge of
this list. Though I appreciate that our concerns (eg the community ) are
being listend to, in the end you make the policy, not us. If you choose
to leave bugzilla as it is, then we will all just have to accept it or
move on.

Ok. I think I will try not to send any email that does not contains a
comments. This is likely to remove all the status change only or think like
that.

But I may still send mail when the bug is marked as RESOLVED ?

This is exactly what I thought about yesterday, but I was too busy to post this suggestion. Only post messages with a new comment (attachments are usually accompanied by a comment and so they do not need a separate posting) or with a state change to "Resolved" (perhaps also to "Reopened"?). Then the list gets much cleaner, without loss of important information.
