Regression testing and cc-ing the author

[Paul Vriens]

Hi,

I've opened a bug (which if fixed now btw) and the regression testing page at 
http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting said "Also be sure to add the author of 
the patch to the CC".

So this is what I did.

Should that line be removed from the wiki or do we generally want the author to 
be CC-ed?

Cheers,

Paul.

IMHO that line should be left in the wiki, simply because not all patch
submitters are subscribed to wine-bugs mailing list. But I find nothing
wrong if somebody already subscribed asks to not add him to the cc: list.

I saw James' email after I wrote that email. I think it's fine as well
if somebody asks not to be added.
But not everybody that adds bug descriptions reads wine-devel.

At least I will not add anybody to the cc-list anymore and try to
contact the author.

Cheers,

Paul.

It's not that cut and dry.  Some people don't mind being CC'ed.  Some  
people do mind being CC'ed, and I know I'm not the only one.  Some  
devels aren't subscribed to wine-bugs.  Like I said before, asking the  
devel to assign the bug to himself is a lot more respectful.

Is there a bugzilla setting for this?  Eg "don't allow others to CC me"?
