So, indeed you can customize these notifications, which perhaps not all maintainers are aware of. We have a old application called "FMN" (Fedora Message Notification). It was created when we first got our fedmsg bus up and running. The idea was for maintainers to have one central place that they could indicate what they wanted to be notified about and how. https://apps.fedoraproject.org/notifications/ You can enable IRC and email backends, and you can adjust your prefs for what notifications you get. Package maintainers get a default setup for package maintainers which basically says 'give me any notification that has to do with me or packages I watch/maintain'. The ruleset setup there is unfortunately difficult for people to understand, but it's quite flexable. This app has a lot of issues and we hope to do a re-write soon. (It's tied to fedmsg instead of our new fedora-messaging bus, it's python2 only, the interface is over complex, it has difficulty keeping up, etc). There are a few things that also send emails on their own. Sadly, bodhi still does this (even though it should not) and bugzilla does this (because we don't control it). You can disable emails in bugzilla and just get emails about bugs in FMN tho I think. Hope that helps, kevin
