Accounts in bugzilla and e-mail addresses used to submit patches
Can please everyone make sure that their e-mail in bugzilla matches the e-mail they use to submit patches? Or at least make it easily guessable. Or can we have all developers create page on Wiki and state their e-mails they use on bugazilla? The reason I'm asking is the standard procedure for a regression testing is to add author of the patch to CC. However sometimes it's impossible to do. As example this commit that introduced regression (bug 16165): e4f7809cc9969c693d910348315502892848aaf9 is first bad commit commit e4f7809cc9969c693d910348315502892848aaf9 Author: Hans Leidekker <hans(a)codeweavers.com> Date: Thu Nov 20 14:50:58 2008 +0100 winhttp: Prefer builtin over native. Out of 2 e-mail address (the one used to submit patch and the one used to send messages to wine-devel) neither present in bugzilla. Vitaliy.

I use different e-mail addresses to make it clear in which role work is done. So although I mainly use hans(a)codeweavers.com for sending patches I may send patches as hans(a)meelstraat.net that I write in my own time. I do triage winehq bugs in CodeWeavers' time (don't tell jwhite ;) but bugzilla knows only one e-mail address and it's not practical to change it beforehand or to use two bugzilla accounts. So I created a wiki page: http://wiki.winehq.org/HansLeidekker -Hans

Personally, I read wine-bugs anyway, so I'd rather people didn't CC me.

I don't read all of wine-bugs, but I filter on components I usually work on. So if the bug is triaged into the correct component, I'll certainly notice. You can always email the author of the patch and point to the bug report. That should be sufficient.

Some regressions are hard to fix. Some are easy. The best person to make such a judgment would be the person who made the patch. However lots of regression bugs don't even see a note from patch author. This is what I'm trying to fix. Vitaliy.

Yes, good call. I just don't see why simply emailing the author of the patch pointing to the bugzilla bug# wouldn't do the job.

There's a bit of inconsistency of those that do/don't read wine-bugs (more do). Users don't know who does/doesn't read it, so it'd be easier on them if everyone had their e-mails in bugzilla so they can be cc'ed. If you're already on wine-bugs, then set your e-mail settings to not e-mail you on cc. -- -Austin
