Hi again.

Just so that this thread doesn't die. I think we have two good
proposals on the table:

1. Track cherry-pick info on an external server and add an iframe
inside bugzilla, the same way EWS bots do.
Pros: scalable, any vendor could add their own trackers (would it be
interesting to add rdar:// comments using this same mechanism?)

2. Configure/hack bugzilla to allow the addition of comments without
trigerring e-mails.
Pros: small change, appears to be easy to implement - specially on my side ;-)

Eric: how do we proceed from now?

In the meanwhile, please be patient with the cherry-pick e-mails... As
usual there will be a few of them this week (in average, something
like 20-30 cherry-picks per week).

Thanks,
  - Ademar
