We have a large pile of external users who contact our help desk who
then enters the ticket in trac for them or resolves it (password
change, desktop config problems, etc), so they are not users that go
into trac and configure their preferences.  They help desk will enter
their email address as the reporter.  We want to email the reporter if
their problem is logged as a trac ticket for a software change.  When
it gets approved for work we want another email to the reporter, and
when it gets closed we want another email sent to them.  All the
statuses in between we don't want to mail bomb the reporter.

In the Announcer plugin is there way to send emails to the reporter
based on the status?  I've hacked some new code to do that, but was
wondering whether it was possible without that and I missed
something.

Related to that, what's the etiquette for having that considered for
integration in the plug-in or should I make it into a separate trac
hack?  I'm also considering making a 2 column ticket email formatter
in html and plain text ala the current trac ticket layout vice a
single column layout currently used in Announcer, should that also go
into another hack?  Consider me a novice in the whole open source
world and contributing.
