As a followup to a previous message, I remembered one problem with the original roundup nosy-list mechanism, and that's the "adding to cc list by replying to a email" behavior. It's the key behind the nosy-list concept, and I must say that it worked great when we had a small team of developers (4-5) and beta users. When we scaled up to over 10 people and thousands of users, then that behavior was much too generous, and you hesitated to make a comment on a bug for fear of being attached to that bug forever. Bugzilla is quite explicit about who gets added to the "candidate cc list" by default (the "component owner", the "QA contact" and the "reporter"), and one has to explicitely add oneself to the bug (although the UI could be smarter, since bugzilla knows you're logged in if you are, it should be a one-click operation). Again, I'm not arguing for Bugzilla as much as for the features and control offered by bugzilla. As an aside -- Gordon, or anyone else looking at these issues, if you want to file fake bugs, post attachments, etc. on our bugzilla installation (e.g. Komodo or ActivePython) to see how the thing "feels", feel free. If you need privileged access (e.g. to be a component owner), we can do that too. see e.g. bugs.activestate.com/ActivePython. --david
