Bugzilla mails and people replying to wine-bugs@winehq.com
Just curious how trivial it would be to add a note to the bugzilla mail template saying to post replies to comments in the bug? Something like the following: A bug you are watching, Bug #(bug number), has a new comment. To reply to this comment, click (bug link). Then the rest of the email as it currently appears. I'm asking because I have received several replies to the list recently, and once wine reaches 1.0, I'm sure many more people will join the list and do the same. I don't want comments to be lost due to them not being posted in the proper place, as everyone's input on a bug is important. -- Thanks Tom

That seems like a very good idea. For the AppDB we also use a reply bot since a lot of poeple don't seem to notice such information. Alexander N. Sørnes

Or how about adding some magic to the ML where any reply to wine-bugs gets added as a comment to the bug report? Web programming isn't my specialty, so I don't know if this if feasible or possible, but it seems like the best solution to the problem (we also have a message to attach logs and not paste, but most people don't read or follow that advice). -- James Hawkins

That would be great
(we also have a message to attach logs and not paste, but most people don't read or follow that advice).
I think the problem with that is that it isn't in bold, it kind of blends in with the page. I know that it had been there a while before I finally noticed it, although I had been attaching logs prior to that message being put there. I think that a notice in the email at the very top right before the link would be noticable enough to where people would see it in >90% of the cases when they would have hit reply otherwise. Another solution I thought of would be to just set wine-bugs@ to either bounce messages back to the sender with undeliverable address, or redirect it to /dev/null, although neither of those would be as helpful as James' or my own ideas. Last solution, although I personally don't like it would be to have reply-to set to wine-devel@ -- Thanks Tom
