 I don't think the bugzilla mail is entirely useless.  But I don't think
 we're getting the most use out of bugzilla that we can.  I still don't
 think sending every single message to the list is a great idea.  I
 really don't care to see status change messages on some of these bug
 reports, or a message for every single attachment that gets uploaded.

This sounds right to me and I think there is a possibility to subscribe to a 
given bug easily if I am interested ? As the one who reported the bug will 
get messages anyway I think 

 This applies to your developers as much as to us contributors.  Part of
 the point of bugzilla is to filter what bug reports they need to see.
 Sending all of that mail to this list totally defeats that.  As is since
 some people still aren't reporting bugs via bugzilla, they have to read
 this list anyway.  Which means they are left filtering through bugzilla
 emails.  At best they can filter them...  but I think you see my point.

  Bugzilla accomplishes the same goal as cooker, that is to say fix
  upcoming mandrake release. However bugzilla keeps history of what
  happen in a far clearer way than grepping tens of megabytes of cooker
  mail folder.

 Agreed...

  Moreover we, mandrake developers, cannot sustain the bugs posting rate
  in beta period. As a consequence we decided to send mail to cooker so
  that people that usually help a lot in reporting bug and finding
  solutions can help in the same way for bugzilla.

 And my proposal of only posting the new bug reports still allows this to
 happen...

Yes this would be good.

 I agree completely with Ben about the bugzilla setup. I understand you
 position warly on the use of bugzilla, I've had to use similar (though
 far simpler) troublshooting tools during beta periods for our OC48
 Packet Over Sonet Cards we were designing at Nortel. The idea though was
 to ensure that, as Ben said, the people who need the information get it.
 If I'm troubleshooting a problem, which is largely unlikely as I'm no
 expert, I only need to be concerned with the problem. If I'm ready to
 solve a new one, I need to be able to see what's currently out there to
 solve, and pick it up.

 move on.

Ok. I think I will try not to send any email that does not contains a
comments. This is likely to remove all the status change only or think like
that.

But I may still send mail when the bug is marked as RESOLVED ?

hmm, isn't that a status changed only email ;)
I think it would be good, so that everyone can see that it's no longer 
an issue. helps create a sense of getting closer to release.

That sounds just about right, sending an email to the list at first
saying there is a new bug, then having a mail on completion. That would
probably be a very good solution indeed.

The big thing is I don't need to see that someone made a bugzilla entry
status change. If an individual is interested in following the various
bugzilla issues then they should follow it at bugzilla and not through
an email list.

I don't want to see bugzilla go at this point, as apparently it is being

currently being handled.
