Well, you're making the assumption that no one would want these 
e-mails, which I very much doubt is valid. As a general rule, 
if someone doesn't want to be notified of changes to bugzilla 
issues that they reported or commented on, they can unsubscribe 
from them. And sure, this is potentially a lot of e-mails this 
time around, since all of the open bugs are being affected at 
once, but it's only going to be once, and it tells you 
something about which open issues you're currently subscribed 
to, which some people are going to be interested in.

So, while I do think that it's perfectly understandable if you 
didn't want any of these e-mails, I don't agree that it would 
have been a good idea to simply not send them out to anyone.

Though personally, now I have to go and figure out how I'm 
going to have to rework my filters to deal with the fact that 
we're going to now be using github issues instead. I don't even 
know what I'm going to be get e-mailed by default, and it 
wouldn't surprise me if I end up missing some stuff until I get 
all of that sorted out. But such is life, I suppose.

I think the complaint is about 1000+ emails, more than receiving 
any notification at all. For instance, if there were logic that 
if a user would receive more than ten emails, then there would be 
some kind of special aggregation for them such that they just get 
a single email listing all the issues, then I think that would 
resolve manu's complaint.
