Hi, I've opened a bug report[1] about automatically generated emails from Fedora Fedmsg and other parts of Fedora infrastructure. Maybe there are other components of Fedora where bug reports like this should be opened but that isn't completely clear to me. I'm sending this email to the community to ask a few things: - to see if other people have useful information to add to the bug report - to see if anybody can suggest other components to file bug reports against, or help do so - to find out if there is existing policy on this issue, a search of the wiki didn't reveal anything obvious - to get any general feedback about how the Fedora community feels about use of email addresses. Note that I'm not just writing this to complain about the issue, I've previously done work on tools to help people build dashboards of their issues and I've blogged about some of those, including how you can get Github issues in iCalendar[2], Nagios issues in iCalendar[3], Debian issues in iCalendar[4]. Bugzilla (used by Fedora, Mozilla and GNOME, for example) already has native iCalendar support. Harsh Daftary did work on aggregating[5] things from these sources in a dashboard as a GSoC project. Putting this all together, even using the Mozilla Calendar/Lightning plugin, you can easily merge issues from many places and see them in priority[2] order which is far more comfortable than being bombarded by emails and trying to work out which is most important, which is already fixed by somebody else, etc. - can anybody comment on other tools like this that put the developers in control rather than bombarding our inboxes with things? - would anybody like to help contribute to things like this in future, for example, mentoring another GSoC project on the dashboard concept?
