I received 26 mails telling me about expiry changes; many people will have received more - I'm not particularly prolific in my involvement with upstream projects.
I realise that expiry has been a hot potato and the goal was to make sure folk know... however I think that future things along this line would benefit by a few tweaks. Firstly, i think it would be nice if there were a blog post about it, because many *users* of the bug system will be affected even if they are not a 'bug supervisor'. With a blog post in place, if we really need to grab peoples attention, sending a single email with a summary of their projects, the settings on those projects and a link to the blog post for details would let folk know with only a single mail, and also give them a good reference list for the things they may want to change. I don't know how many folk will have received duplicate mails, but if we think its a large number, we might patch up things a bit by offering an apology..... on the blog. I do know at least one upstream who found the volume of emails distressing (and they only received 10 or so). -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
