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.
There are two people watching wikibugs-l@: Quim Gil and I.
So I'll likely set up an account like "all-bugmail(a)wikimedia.bugs" and
set it as "globalwatcher" tomorrow. Then Quim and I can subscribe to it
to drown in bugmail, and you can use wikitech-l@ as usual.
I am also subscribed to wikibugs-l, and I believe Roan is as well (or was anyway).
I agree with Chad, it should continue to work as expected. From a globalwatcher point of
view, whatever change is made to a bug, it must not affect the fact that the globalwatcher
address (wikibugs-l in this case) is notified. The default CC status of "Nobody
<wikibugs-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>" is afaik just for legacy reasons and as
placeholder. wikibugs-l as Bugzilla account isn't actually used afaik. In the Bugzilla
configuration, wikibugs-l is configured as globalwatcher.
The proposal Andre makes here sounds confusing, How is that different from the current
situation? What problem is it supposed to address?
