That's an automatically triggered message created by a gitlab hook,
which parses the commit message for "closes: #nnnnn" and notifies the bug
submitter when it's known that the bug is fixed in salsa.
The problem is that the confident submitter is a bot.
In the concrete case, I replied to point out that the bug closure was a
mistake. That reply bounced.
Is it wrong of me to cc the "person" interacting with a bugreport?
Is it wrong of me to expect being able to reach that "person"? Easily?
For comparison: A long time ago, messages sent to debian-devel-changes
had the name of the maintainer in the From: field, but the maintainer
was not the real person sending those messages, so the name was "fake".
Now those messages have a From: field like this:
From: Debian FTP Masters <ftpmas...@ftp-master.debian.org>
and everybody looking at those messages will know that replying to them
will only bother the ftpmasters, not the maintainer who
uploaded the package.
I think this case is quite similar. The visible name is "fake"
and maybe it's not proper for salsa to send messages
to the BTS with a real name using a noreply address.
However, I think most people consider those messages to be useful,
so philosophical objections aside regarding whether or not those
message should be sent at all, I would try to improve the way
they are sent.
Maybe some Salsa admin has something to say about this?
(I'm adding them in the Cc).
Thanks.
