Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 118596
Side effect of closure @openoffice.org mailing list in Bugzilla
Last modified: 2013-01-23 01:40:24 UTC
The closure of all mailing list running on openoffice.org discussed on ooo-dev@i.a.o list. One side effect will be default assignee in Bugzilla, who is responsible for the bug will be abandoned. Every Product has own default assignee, such as for this bug is: issues@openoffice.org. Other examples writerneedsconfirm@openoffice.org, dbaneedconfirme@openoffice.org. In past they used as a waiting list, until the developers appointed, not spam all developers mailing lists, possibly used inside sun/oracle. Usually when QA reviewed bug, assigned developer, or if the bug not confirmed the default mail used as sink. I have no knowledge where these mails posted now. They needs to substituted until the closure happens. Possible solution use ooo-issues mailing list instead cc-ing. Another problem could be the already assigned bugs, where @openoffice.org email addresses used.
The good news is that changing the email address for an account (like issues@) will change all the displayed references. A BZ administrator should be able to do that. All we have to decide is, what to change it to?
getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity". For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.
