Hi! This came out of some discussion with Arsen and prompted by some other comments on IRC.
At the moment, during release time, maintainer-scripts/branch_changer.py is run by release managers and causes a large amount of bugmail to be sent both to CCs/assignees but also to the gcc-bugs ML. The activity comes from the RM's personal account. In the past, I've missed real activity on bugs (including a question to me) as well as some other email drowned out in the notification emails. What do people think about possibly having a special 'GCC releases' account which only the RMs have an API key to, possibly suppresses sending email to begin with, and is ignored by gcc-bugs? It would allow easier filtering out of the mail. (I'm familiar enough with BZ to say it should be trivially doable, with the exception of suppressing *sending* the mail to begin with, which I'd have to investigate.) thanks, sam
