Yes the current default makes sense. Sort the messages in another folder if the volume bothers you. And yes that page explains how to selectively decide what you want to receive. > (Opting out from bts-control sounds like it might work, but then do you > lose other less predictable messages, too?) bts-control is only messages which follow commands like changing severity, reassigning, changing subject, etc. The message that a bug got closed is sent via the "bts" keyword. But if you're only interested in the upload notice then you should deactivate everything except "upload-source". Of course, if you deactive the "bts" keyword you won't receive discussions concerning bug reports. I don't think there's anything to fix here.
