All notification emails from OpenOffice's BZ are currently disabled.
It is not just your account.  This is related to the "mail bomb" that
occurred on Friday.

When it became clear that our BZ instance was sending out a huge
number of notifications I disabled email notifications from within the
BZ admin UI.

I'd like to coordinate with someone in Infra on turning this back on.
Why?  Because it is not clear to me whether there are even more pent
up notifications that would be sent once we enable notifications
again.  I don't know how BZ works internally enough to be certain.

A few possibilities:

1) Someone who knows more about BZ than I do checks our database or
filesystem to see if there is a pending queue of unsent notifications,
and gives us a go-ahead if it looks clear.

2) We meet up on IRC and Infra carefully monitors the mail queues as
we re-enable BZ notifications, so we have the ability to immediately
shut it off if there is a surge.

3) Temporarily direct our BZ mails to a different mail queue until we
are certain it is not misbehaving.

This might all be unnecessary.  It is possible that the notifications
from BZ were all sent before I shut it down.  But I rather be a little
cautious than cause another ASF-wide mail problem.
