This would be one way to do it. But then you don't know whether you want to unsubscribe him if the owner changes. Another way would be having him get the messages the same way the package maintainer does. > Since you can subscribe to the bug so trivially, I don't see why you > wouldn't just send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] at the same > time you sent mail to owner if you wanted the mail and weren't already > subscribed to the bug. Principle of least surprise. Obviously, if you *know* of the misfeature that you won't get copies of bug mail, you'll subscribe and it is easy. But it is easy to just set the owner to yourself and then miss additional info sent to the bug. -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
