For some specific bugs, I’ve added myself to the CC list, because I’m interested in knowing when the bug is fixed (and maybe when the target has changed). Problem is: because there has been a lot of discussion in a few of those bugs, I’ve been getting a lot of bugmail that I’m not interested in. I don’t want to remove myself from the CC list, because I still want to be notified when the bug is fixed.
I don’t know if I’m the only one with this issue, so I thought I’d share how I fixed it.
In my Bugzilla Preferences, there is an Email Preferences tab that allows me to choose what changes I get emailed about based on my relationship to the bug. In it, I turned off most options for when I am a voter of a bug. Then, for any bugs in which I only care if the bug is fixed, I vote for it instead of adding myself to the CC list.
I made that change over a week ago. So far, so good.
Yes, that’s worked well for me for many years.
Another hackish way, but for a limited set of bugs, is when there is a meta bug that it blocks (and you have a general interest in that area), then cc: on the meta bug
Thanks, i think i’ll apply it to my account too
