Well, you're making the assumption that no one would want these e-mails,<br>
which I very much doubt is valid. As a general rule, if someone doesn't want<br>
to be notified of changes to bugzilla issues that they reported or commented<br>
on, they can unsubscribe from them. And sure, this is potentially a lot of<br>
e-mails this time around, since all of the open bugs are being affected at<br>
once, but it's only going to be once, and it tells you something about which<br>
open issues you're currently subscribed to, which some people are going to<br>
be interested in.<br>
<br>
So, while I do think that it's perfectly understandable if you didn't want<br>
any of these e-mails, I don't agree that it would have been a good idea to<br>
simply not send them out to anyone.<br>
<br>
Though personally, now I have to go and figure out how I'm going to have to<br>
rework my filters to deal with the fact that we're going to now be using<br>
github issues instead. I don't even know what I'm going to be get e-mailed<br>
by default, and it wouldn't surprise me if I end up missing some stuff until<br>
I get all of that sorted out. But such is life, I suppose.<br>
