I also list using the 'my bugs' feature of bugzilla. But that doesn't actually necessarily need to be reflected as 'assignment'. If there were a way to let me add to a list of 'my bugs' without requiring assignment (or editbugs) that would be totally cool. > 2.

That is, if this bug is relevant to @joeluser, the owner of the project typically comments, "this looks like this is up your alley, @joeluser" which sends an email notification. @joeluser then decides whether to add this to their personal 'my bugs' list (which is only mental at this point, since github doesn't support bug lists). --scott _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
