--- Comment #2 from Quiddity <[email protected]> ---
Sorry, I should've given clearer examples.  

A) If I submit a new bug, and I turn on "Advanced fields", I can see the list
of "Default CC" recipients.
B) When I submit a new bug, I get a list of "Emails also sent to", which
typically includes the Default CCs.

For these components (and many more), that list includes email addresses which
are no longer functional (because the former-staff member has been
off-boarded). E.g.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=ContentTranslation
(asharma)
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=Echo
(bsitu)
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=E3%20Experiments
(swalling)

This is especially a problem, if ALL the default CCs are non-functional
addresses (especially @wikimedia.org addresses) because it gives bug-submitters
the impression that someone will notice their bug, when in reality it will
potentially go unnoticed.
E.g. All 3 of the Default CC addresses for this component, are non-functional:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=LastModified

However, perhaps those staff members would wish to follow the new bugs as
volunteers? 
E.g. alolita (asharma) is a default CC on
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=CLDR
but with her non-staff email address. Possibly she would like to have the same
setup for the ContentTranslation component.

Hence the draft/placeholder/suggestion I left (and have now updated) at the
VerboseOffboarding page. Hope that helps. :)
