When you report a bug, it places you on the email update list, so changes in the status of the bug are forwarded to you. If you want that to stop, go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187919, log in, and remove yourself from the updates list.
This is standard procedure for all bugs you report. Usually, either a bug is widespread and short-lived or rare and long-lived. Since this is long-lived and widespread (grumble, grumble...), these scattered updates are taking y'all by surprise. -- alacarte crashed with AttributeError in split() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187919 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to alacarte in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
