This is an area which came in for some contention during the meeting. Let's have some follow up :) To recap for people who weren't at the meeting: Myself and John would like to make it a standard requirement for new triagers to post a short mail to the mailing list just to introduce themselves. The intent of this is multiple. First, it acts as a basic bot check - this is important, as joining fedorabugs group gives you wide Bugzilla powers, so we don't want bots to get it. Second, it's a good way to make newcomers feel involved right away, and make sure the rest of the group knows about them. We actually had about ten new members in the fedorabugs group last week, but most current triagers wouldn't know that because there's currently nothing that has them introduce themselves to the rest of the group. Chris objected on the grounds that he wouldn't have felt comfortable sending an introduction email when he joined and he worried that there would be others in the same situation. He felt there should be no need to disclose any kind of personal information to become a bugzapper, and people should be judged on work, not personal qualities or reputation. I and John clarified that the introductory mail could be pretty free-form, and wouldn't need to include any personal information like name or location if the newcomer didn't feel comfortable providing that information. So, what does everyone think? Would introductory emails be a worthwhile idea or not? Does anyone have a modification or alternative suggestion?
