Yesterday I started getting a "Here is a daily list of your outstanding bugs" email, saying: You will get this message once a day until you've dealt with these bugs! Who made this change? And how do we turn it off? Otherwise I'm just going to go and delete my bugzilla.kernel.org account, as that's just about the most annoying thing I've seen in a while. There are plenty of reasons why you don't want to send out emails like this to developers and to do it every single day is pretty rude. thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Hi, Greg: I'm sorry about that -- a few people wanted to use the "whine" option, which required that I turn the functionality on. In turn, this annoyed everyone with bugs assigned to it. Let me see if setting "whinedays" to "0" will turn off the automated whines while letting people set up custom whines as they needed. If that doesn't work, then I'll set "whinedays" to 3650, so at least this way the only bugs you'll get whines about will be those that have been "NEW" for over 10 years. :) Best, -- Konstantin Ryabitsev Systems Administrator Linux Foundation, kernel.org Montréal, Québec [-- Attachment #2: OpenPGP digital signature --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 726 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I didn't see anywhere where I could turn the "whine" option off, or change it, what screen is it on? thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I don't think that's user-settable, as I'm afraid the whole concept of "whines" is that users can't turn them off. Which is stupid, of course, as we all know how to set up incoming mail filters. At any rate, there shouldn't be any future automated whines. If anyone receives one after today, just let me know and I'll make sure it's off for good, even if I have to remove the cronjob.

Is there any chance of also setting it so that anyone who is assigned a bug can close it not just a few people with magical powers and the filer ?

I'm not that adept at bugzilla admin bits yet (clearly), but if I'm reading the docs correctly, the assignee should be allowed to do pretty much anything with the bugs: "By default, assignees, QA owners and users with editbugs privileges can edit all fields of bugs, except group restrictions (unless they are members of the groups they are trying to change)." Is that not the case?
