Thoughts? > I think the current announcements are easy to mentally filter out, because they are frequent, regular, and templated. "Just a machine-generated announcement, I don't care about those". I was hoping a more personalized email like the one I sent would draw more attention. I have no idea if it did, though. There are a few ideas we can try: a) send out *fewer* "compose nominated for testing" emails to team lists. That will make them stand out more when they actually appear. For example we can drop all the rawhide ones (just send them to test-announce), and send them to team lists only after branching. b) add a few "human" emails during the release cycle (it doesn't mean they can't use a template, but we can try to make them feel less like that) c) make some special views in testcase stats which would show only relevant areas to a specific team (so server-related test cases for the Server team, etc). It would then be very easy for them to check what the current coverage is. d) add statistics to our emails that list the current coverage per team (e.g. 30% of required test cases last tested more than a month ago), that could give urgency to areas which need it e) create occasional tickets in team trackers if the coverage is low and the milestone is approaching To be honest, I ignore those "compose nominated for testing" emails myself as well, unless we're getting close to a milestone. Nobody will spend time testing throughout the year again and again, that's machines' job. It makes sense that humans get involved close to the cycle end, when the priority of "milestone incoming" exceeds the priority of "whatever I'm doing regularly". So we should probably tailor the messaging as well, to make it more meaningful.
