Yes I'd agree with this - as a former roundup user, the nosy list makes
sense and is very clear to all users what's going on.
In our newly installed trac envs we're having trouble working out who
gets notified when (in particular when comments are added to tickets it
appears as if noone's getting notified and the timeline isn't getting
changed) - i'm sure that we'll smooth out the config problems
eventually, but the way that the "nosy" list exposes this makes the
config debugging easier (you have the same config issues in roundup -as
you have to determine who gets added to nosy list when, but it's much
more visible to all)

As I said, I'm a big fan of Roundup's concept of the nosy list. Basically
it's a list of email addresses to be notified about changes to a ticket.
Whenever a user makes any change to a ticket, they are automatically added
to the nosy list. Essentially, if you express a stake in a ticket, you
are automatically notified for the rest of that ticket's lifecycle. It's
a simple and intuitive model. If it turns out you don't want to be
notified anymore, you can simply delete yourself fromt he CC list.
It's been a while, but IIRC Roundup also has ways for adding default
entries in the nosy list as well as making it pretty easy to put hooks
into the workflow to affect the nosy list.
Roundup's email interface is actually extremely feature-rich (maybe
overkill), handling user registration, ticket submissions, and maybe even
reports (again, hard for me to remember).
You can see the basic feature list here:
http://roundup.sourceforge.net/doc-1.0/features.html
Again, it's really the nosy list that's most important.

--email notification, especially the nosy list
I find that Trac's email notification never works quite the way I want
it to. Either I turn on the "always_notify_x" switches and get too many
emails or I turn it off and get too few. Roundup's nosy list concept is
simple, intuitive, and very powerful. I'd love to see it implemented in
Trac.
I need to have a look at this feature. Can you sum up what you'd like
to see in Trac about notifications ?
Thanks,
Manu
