I just looked into tweaking the email preferences of my bugzilla account such that I would receive emails for all bugs, in order to solve the problem described above for me personally until a solution has been found for the whole group. Unfortunately it seems like the installed bugzilla version is too old to make this possible. So the current situation is that if I want to receive emails for all technical discussions that happen in this group, including the ones that happen in bugzilla, I have to on a regular basis run a bugzilla query and manually cc myself on all newly filed bugs. This does not seem optimal. Also note that it seems like cc'ing public-html in bugzilla does not result in email being sent to the list. Don't know why that is. I suggest that we either make it possible to subscribe to the public-html-bugzilla email list (which receives emails for all bug comments), or that we change the default QA contact in bugzilla to be public-html, and ensure that the emails are successfully delivered to the group. / Jonas
