It depends...  The report -- depends on what you expected.  (E.g.
include *who* modified the ticket.)

But it's (been) a continual ping to the people involved in the tickets
(including reporter, authors, reviewers), so IMHO useful.

They'll get reminded of the ticket and will (hopefully) for example
continue working on it, set it to "needs info", or ask for closing it.

This has happened hundreds of times in the past IIRC.

(William's nagbot is no longer active.)


Although the Sage releases are linear (nearly every stable release is
based on the last "devel"), for a release manager it makes pretty much
sense to change the milestone of tickets (and the default milestone for
new tickets), mostly in order to postpone tickets to a later (than the
next stable to be released) version.  (We for example for a long time
had the milestone sage-5.0, which to that time was far future -- goals.)

For developers, it makes sense to let them know that their tickets e.g.
*won't* get into the next [stable] release, similar to but more explicit
than announcing a feature freeze (where? usually not on the tickets
where people are cc'ed).
