That's OK. It is a matter of people being aware that the updates will be echoed to a mailing list and acting appropriately. If some low-value stuff leaks through then ho-hum, at least it was on-topic. It is not as if we are unused to low-value content... It would be good if pure administrata such as changing the status were filtered. In fact, there is probably no point in sending anything bugzilla->list apart from the initial report. If the bug is then pursued via bugzilla then OK. If is is pursued via email then bugzilla just captures the discussion. > There's probably > some vaguely happy medium to be found between: > a) sending newly logged bugs to existing lists, > b) sending updates to some new list. > Maybe if we just create a new list for each category, and let > people subscribe at will to those ... and I keep sending newly logged > bugs to linux-kernel?

I think sending the initial report to the relevant lists and then capturing incoming email would suffice. > 2. email back in. > > Email back in is harder, and needs more thought as to how to make it > easy to use, whilst avoiding logging crap (eg. ensuing flamewars that > derive from the bug reports, etc). Well hopefully people will have the sense to cut the bugzilla address off the Cc line if it drifts off-topic. > My intuition is to log replies by > default, and hack off certain threads by hand Nah. Just log everything and hack off the crap by larting people.
