To me it is a matter of personal freedom. You just never ask little things, no I think it's none sense to allow per account time frame, then leaders can just place some higher number and won't get any email for months from the reminders, and no turn it off ? Do you know how often a developer has just forgotten a bug ? It's not a option to not get these emails, when you become a developer on a package you are saying that you want to maintain this package thus you have to know about bugs, no point in not getting those emails. Well it's not like you anyway get many emails, only 1 email per package you lead that has a bug (note I make difference between bug and feature request in those reminders, FR aren't included in them). I'll answer Bertrand in his one email. > HЮ> Now like many here know, I've finished the bug system summary/reminder > HЮ> script, I believe that I've sent about this before, but can we sort out > HЮ> the time frame that those reminders should be sent out ? > > HЮ> This script sends a summary to pear-qa plus send one email to each > HЮ> lead/developer of packages that have bug reports that are defined as > HЮ> open or in feedback mode, that way we keep the emails down per user. > > HЮ> I think we should sen this out every 2 weeks, that's good time frame, > HЮ> not to short and not to long between reminders. > HЮ> The day of the week doesn't really matter IMHO nor the time of the day, > HЮ> it's more up to the sys admins. > HЮ> Also I don't want to make a whole RFC just so people can say "I want it > HЮ> to be every 14.454 days 10:00", just a waste of time. > > HЮ> We're only talking about weeks now. > > HЮ> every (1,2,3,4) week(s) > > HЮ> I say every 2 weeks :-) > HЮ> Speak up if you think this needs RFC and state why, and also if you > HЮ> think it should be other then every 2 weeks. > > > t > --
