I personally prefer not to be CCed on bug reports. I don't want to recieve any mail about a bug unless it is asking me to supply more information or if the bug is being closed due to a fix or because the software was removed from Debian. I sometimes get people CCing me even when there is no need to (#545785 most recently). Given the massive thread this post generated, with a variety of opinions, I would propose: A subscribe pseudo-header for submit@ mails that has values 'yes' and 'no'. A way for people to set the default value of the subscribe pseudo-header for new bugs. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
