Wikibugs-l is for technical people that follow it for the bug information, not for "Joe Blogs [added/removed] himself from CC" and CCing doesn't provide any information that is needed for that list, That is why its hacked out. Wikibugs not receiving it is a bonus since it just reads the wikibugs email list and spits it out. Global watcher is the best option for what we want, Because it always covers the bugs and the only other option really is rely on wikibugs-l being added to the cc list which wasn't a reliable method at all (was used before GW was enabled/present). Can you propose a better option for this than defaulting the cc'er as wikibugs? I doub't there are that that many people that want the wikibugs-l list to receive a copy of every single change (Eg: cc changes) to the bug, But that is probably a discussion for another thread. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
