[gentoo-dev] Question about developer/bug assigned person's mail adress (as seen in Bug #453778)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a question: Bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453778 is assigned to Dustin Polke gentoobugsie.20.dsuraw...@spamgourmet.com While the bug is easy to fix and close, no action happens. So I tried to find out whats the meaning of this strange email address. After a visit to https://spamgourmet.com/ this mail address means that only the first 20 emails send to this address are forwarded to the registered user's real mail address. Any further mails are discarded. Now my question: is this a good behaviour for a developer? What's your opinion?

In my opinion every developer *should* have a working e-mail address. Imagine that someone might want to mail him -- it's really impolite to provide a fake address which will drop all incoming mail silently. -- Best regards, Michał Górny signature.asc Description: PGP signature

But you could ask him to provide a real address if you want to.

I would argue that we should not expect fake email addresses in Bugzilla for people who are actually in a development position. If you don't want to receive mail from bugzilla you can disable bugmail, and even that is a nuisance for the remaining developers and users — and I say that knowing full well that _my_ account has mailing disabled right now, but I'm on a sort of leave of absence so I would say it's intended. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes flamee...@flameeyes.eu — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/ Yeah fine by me. I was just explaining what the situation is like.
