So the aim of the patch was to completely omit bugmail in case of CC list only changes, in order to make IRC + wikibugs-l@ less noisy? 1) I assume this silently broke "The CC field changes" settings on https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email for everybody in the past. "Assume" because my time machine back to 4.0.9 is broken. 2) wikibugs-l@ is also set as "globalwatchers" ("who should receive a copy of every notification mail Bugzilla sends"). After the Bugzilla upgrade wikibugs-l@ *finally* works reliably for me and seems to send ALL bugmail. Before I didn't receive bugmail anymore after wikibugs-l@ got removed as assignee of a report && when wikibugs-l@ was not listed either as default CC of the corresponding component (test example: bug 42226). These might be related [or not] to dropping the hack. In any case, I'd like to challenge reapplying this patch, because: 1) Don't set wikibugs-l@ as globalwatchers if you don't want it to receive all bugmail about all changes. 2) If you want a certain account to not receive email in case of changing X in Bugzilla, edit the accounts's "when to send mail" settings in Bugzilla to not to send bugmail in case of only changing X. Obviously this interferes with 1) currently. andre -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
