Personally, I most definitely want that. I keep all such e-mails, and I have e-mail filters which put them in the correct folders. No manual processing is required, and I have all of those e-mails to search through when I need to. I can totally understand that it's annoying to have to manually go through hundreds of e-mails, but e-mail programs provide tools for dealing with that sort of thing, and it's not exactly new that bugzilla e-mails about any comments or changes to bug reports that you're subscribed to. It's just that on this particular occasion, a whole bunch of issues got commented on at once because of the migration. Either way, it's a one time thing (or I guess, a two time thing, since the dmd/druntime issue still need to be moved), and that's the end of it. For me at least, the annoying part about the messages is that I now have to rework my filters to deal with github sending me e-mails about issues for these repos, and I need to separate those out from e-mails about PRs, whereas before, I could just put all of the e-mails for each repo in a folder for that repo and mostly be able to rely on them all being PR-related e-mails. But that's just life when we change the service we're using for bug reports. - Jonathan M Davis
