Are there any plans to add this? It is really a requirement of
a good production system.

Yeah, I saw that, but was hoping for something more.

Stephen - any plan to get us on a stable version of bugzilla?

It's not really a mail thing, but an ownership thing. In bugster, the
RMs only get mail for a P1 issue, but the RM is the person that gets
yelled at if the bug is unassigned for too long, etc. That is more
of a corporate type thing, I guess, but is useful for preventing bugs
from going stale & getting ignored.
