Comment:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think this is a good idea.
Firstly, I'm not wild about the idea of increasing the volume of email on
any existing users that have this middleware installed.
Secondly, email notification isn't the right way to be handling this sort
of reporting. BrokenLinkEmailsMiddleware is a big like a vestigial tail -
it is a relic of an era when there wasn't tools like Sentry to do log
analysis. I'd rather focus our efforts on integrating better with good
logging and analysis tools, rather than expanding the capabilities of a
feature that should probably be deprecated.
Lastly, if you *really* want 403's et al to reported by email, you can do
this in your own code without difficulty.
If you'd like to advocate for this feature, feel free to open a discussion
on the Django-developers mailing list.
