>From my perspective, I think we deal with patches to the mailing list, with our preferred [PATCH] tag, or not, pretty well. From BZ, maybe no so much. I would guess that historically, members of the head of a specific OpenOffice project were copied on bugs for that area, e.g. "math" or "gsl" etc. I'm looking at our current bug categories. Right now, all the issues changes go to [email protected]. What would be good is an easy way for volunteer developers to add themselves to the CC list for a whole group of bugs based on category/component. This would somewhat mimic the oversight that had been in place in the past. So, do we have a way to do a bulk CC add for a group of issues? I took a quick look just now and nothing emerged. This wouldn't guarantee that patches wouldn't fall through the cracks but might help with the situation.
