I can manually add people to get notified about changes, but that is cumbersome. For individual bugs, you can click the star to get email notification. You the a google account for that. So I think I will setup a mailing list for this, and then people that are interested can subscribe. Most of the time I don't think it would be a problem to forward all changes to solfege-devel, but occationally I might change many bug reports in a short time, for exampel adding lots of labels to sort bugs, and then solfege-devel would get 10-20 emails in one day. Some people might get annoyed by this. > Now that I've seen the bug list, and considering that it includes > suggestions for improvements, is there a rationale for keeping a separate bug > tracking system and mailing list, or is it just a duplicated service because > different people are used to different modes of communication? The reason for this is that email messages get lost easier that bug reports. If people email me privately and describe a problem, I might discuss with them, and then file a bug report in the database. Or if people ask questions on solfege-devel I maybe help them, and figure out that the real problem is that something needs fixing and I file a bug report. If I just email the list and say "I'll fix this when I have time", then the email is forgotten when I have time to do it in 3 months, or maybe a year.
