I guess it got a bit lost in the way I wrote the email, but the idea was that there would be a web-hook that sends a message to the BTS when an MR is opened that mentions the bug that it is fixing, so you would still get an email from thr BTS if you're subscribed in any way to that bug. (There are already hooks that tag a bug as "fix pending" when one pushes a commit containing the "Closing ###" line) Best, Gert
