Ya'll have mentioned the issue of maintainers drowning in bugzilla

of package maintainers and send a bug report only to those who are
maintainers for said package? (This can be easily modified to add the
list of CCs to those included in the bug report list)
A.) This would cut down on the amount of bugzilla spam each maintainer
has to sort through
B.) This can be an option set in the users preferences that can be
turned off if desired.
C.) Will, likely, reduce the amount of time it takes to fix bugs.
I think you misunderstood the problem. The mails that we are talking
about /are/ the bugzilla mails directed specifically at individuals or
specific mailing lists for that package. For some maintainers/software
even that is far far too much, across every active Fedora/RHEL variant.
Perhaps it's the fact that I don't have any packages at the moment...
but I receive ALL bugzilla list email. Regardless of whether or not I
have any interest in it.
This is what I meant in my earlier email... people are drowning in bz
spam from bugs that aren't even theirs. Perhaps filtering most, if not
all of that at the BZ list itself is the best way to solve this. I
realize some people have so many packages and/or a few high traffic
packages to begin with... but it's a start.
