Yes, there's some limited email-suppression built-in for some builds of Bugzilla. For our Bugzilla, I wrote some custom code to make it possible to suppress all bug-change emails based on user_id (aka "Ninja Edits"). I ran into some perm problems with gerrit, but if those get resolved, I can check-in those changes. Now that recall, I've actually got an improved version of my first patch that leverages Bugzilla's built-in group system so that one can toggle Ninja group status directly in the admin interface. Not that we should do silent edits on a regular basis, but it can be handy in some special cases ;-) > AFAIK one can only set off notifications globally.

One change, and all bugs are updated. Easy, peasy! Jan I: Feel free to ping me re: change requests for Keywords. We'll want to make sure that any pertinent docs on are the wiki are updated, and perhaps something else that I'm not remembering off the top of my head... > > I should have admin right now (thanks moggi), but feel like this when in that > interface for now: > > http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/234/786/bf7.gif Yeah, dealing with Bugzilla sometimes feels like wrestling with a Klingon targ.
