However, the mail we get would be much more likely to be relevant and informative. We would get some mail on spam bugs, but also a lot of useful new bug notifications with full text of the bug. > > What do Working Group members think of this proposal? Strongly approve. The bug tracking system is a black hole if you're not explicitly searching for new things. You note yourself that there were several bugs submitted this month that you would have commented on had you known about them soon enough. I suspect the same is true for *many* of us in this WG. The "too much bugmail" complaints have actually been, imo, "too much spam" complaints. This change would drive the percentage of useful bugmail far higher, which I suspect is much more acceptable to most people. ~TJ
