The new alias is entirely opt- in, and people interested in bug mail should watch it via Bugzilla's 'email preferences'. The recent tinderboxing effort against GURU packages has caused tons of mail to be delivered to GURU contributor's mailboxes. I am sorry about that, I do realize that you never expected that signing up for GURU would result in getting hundreds of mails every day. Let's be honest -- when I set up the mail aliases for GURU, I wasn't sure the project would catch, not to mention someone suddenly starting to file such a large number of bugs without any heads up. Resolving this is a non-trivial problem. While in Gentoo the amount of bug spam is reduced by assigning them directly to package maintainers, GURU is generally a 'free for all' project. While some of the contributors are listing themselves as maintainers of individual packages, we generally assume anyone can fix anything and FWICS there are a few people who actually actively work on resolving bugs everywhere (thank you!). For this reason, I've decided to create a new opt-in mail alias, guru- bugs@.g.o. All new package bugs should either be assigned to this alias, or CC-ed to it (if assigning to actual maintainers). The previous aliases should only be used for the rare need of actually reaching all people in the project. I've 'reassigned' all existing bugs to the new alias to cease the further bug spam. Actually, I've just changed the email address of the old Bugzilla account to avoid additional mails about reassignment. If you're interested in following the bug mail for GURU, please use the watching feature found in Bugzilla's 'Email Preferences'. Thank you for your work on GURU! -- Best regards, Michał Górny
