Hey guys, Short explanation: I merge my laptop's email inbox once a week with all others, and use that as archive. This week, I did that, and had the surprising and shocking amount of 6,5k emails. Many of those emails are silly bugzilla notifications with status updates such as "this should be merged for the next release" or other such comments that may be useful if it were one or two, but become mere noise for me at this quantity. If 50 bugs get such a status update, you can be sure that A) I don't look at it, because we don't have time to look at 50 bugs at the same time, and B) that I will unsubscribe from bugzilla notifications or just not read them. Therefore my simple request: please stop doing that. If you want me or Thomas or anyone to look at a (list of) bug(s), send us a private email with the list of bug numbers. Stephane's bug updates were somewhat useful because he added keywords and all that, but the same goes there: it's too much. I read 1 or 2 and just ignored the others. The bug updates may be useful, but the notifications definately aren't. I don't know how to solve it (I wish there was a button "don't send notification for this change"). The same probably goes here: it's better to email us privately then to update status of 100+ bugs. In a nutshell, you could say that bugzilla doesn't scale for me. Thanks, Ronald -- Ronald S.
