Yes, we could do that. Either automated, by hand or by sending email on account creation to gcc-bugzilla-account-request. > or we add it as a manual step like updating MAINTAINERS? There will always be a manual step like that because the bugzilla account needs to be activated by resetting the password. Question is if we should also do this for all existing accounts that don't have a corresponding bugzilla account. Some people just use the email address in the MAINTAINERS file. Cheers, Mark
