[gentoo-dev] Question about developer/bug assigned person's mail adress (as seen in Bug #453778)

Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I have a question:

Bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453778 is assigned to
"Dustin Polke" <gentoobugsie.20.dsurawicz@spamgourmet.com>

While the bug is easy to fix and close, no action happens.
So I tried to find out whats the meaning of this strange email address.

After a visit to https://spamgourmet.com/ this mail address means that
only the first 20 emails send to this address are forwarded to the
registered user's real mail address. Any further mails are discarded.

Now my question: is this a good behaviour for a developer?

What's your opinion?

The developer is active he just does not need a working e-mail address.
Some bugs take time to be fixed. Please be patient. We are just volunteers
here.

I would argue that we should not expect fake email addresses in Bugzilla
for people who are actually in a development position.

If you don't want to receive mail from bugzilla you can disable bugmail,
and even that is a nuisance for the remaining developers and users — and
I say that knowing full well that _my_ account has mailing disabled
right now, but I'm on a sort of leave of absence so I would say it's
intended.

In my opinion every developer *should* have a working e-mail address.
Imagine that someone might want to mail him -- it's really impolite to
provide a fake address which will drop all incoming mail silently.

He is just the proxy-maint for autofs. But you could ask him to provide a
real address if you want to.

I asked the maintainer to provide a valid e-mail address
