Description Alberto Gonzalez 2009-09-03 21:37:25 UTC 
I realized that 90% of the emails I get from the KDE bugzilla are just to tell me that someone has added or removed himself from the CC list. This was making me waste a lot of time, so I decided to see if I could change it in my preferences. And sure, I could (great!). But I still wonder why this is the default setting. I think that 99.99% of the users don't want to get emails telling them that someone has added/removed himself from the CC list, but probably most of them are lazy (as I was up to now) to care about logging into their account and find the place to change it. So I think it would be great to change this default, at least for new accounts created (probably it would be a good idea to change it for accounts already created, but not sure if that's ok for the 0.01% who might want to get these notifications and would stop getting them without knowing why).

Thanks.

By default, CC change notification is only enabled for the reporter role.

I agree most bug repoerters (either users or developers) do not care about CC list changes.

I have no strong feeling about this, but I wouldn't mind the default to be changed.

Another possibility might be to send a first notification which indicates that further such notifications will not be sent, unless the user enables the preference.
Comment 4 Philippe Cloutier 2019-07-17 20:26:19 UTC 
Oh, and one argument for disabling (at least by default) is I am not sure the Cc list should be public anyway.

By the way, this ticket should have wishlist "Importance".
