Re: Remove me from the buildbot mailing list
The recent mail are probably due to the addition of nightly builds and the ARM worker. As those builds failed initially until setup correctly, all commit were considered the "culprits". But this should be ok now. What we could do is let buildbot only send reports to a mailing list instead of the commiters directly. > On 22.

Re: Remove me from the buildbot mailing list
Dear Yujiri, I am very sorry for this, the big problem is that somehow the buildbot tries to figure out who made changes to the Git for the notification based on the commits --- and (often/sometimes/always?) gets this totally wrong. So far, we have been unable to teach it how to correctly identify the 'blame list'. That's only a partial excuse, the other one is that I was not aware it was badly spamming even casual/history contributors (I thought it was just not "narrow enough", not "bothers contributors that contributed a long time ago"). As this is not a regular mailinglist (we didn't explicitly subscribe you -- Buildbot by default (badly) scrapes the Git history), we cannot simply "unsubscribe" you either. Hence, the only option I see right now is to simply disable the notification feature entirely --- or at least until someone can figure out how to fix it... Again, sorry for the bother, and I'll look into this _next_. Happy hacking!

Remove me from the buildbot mailing list
Buildbot has been spamming me with build failure emails ever since the documentation-only patch I submitted weeks ago. The content of the emails doesn't suggest any way to unsubscribe. I don't want to block sender because this is a project whose goals I adore and I hope to contribute more in the future, but I need these unsolicited irrelevant emails to stop, and it reflects poorly on the project that I was added to this list automatically with no obvious way to unsubscribe.
