Plasma has a lot of bugs coming in for various reasons, it's a very large product. The default assignee is plasma-bugs for each component. I can't imagine there's anyone who is really subscribed to plasma-bugs, to a point where they can read and process the volume of reports that come in. There is no-one who reacts to each new bug, and it's too big a job to ask anyone to do it.
Each component individually, however, is a different story. [1] The number of bugs for the desktop containment, or the battery widget and such are perfectly reasonable volumes to deal with as they come in. If I was the maintainer of the Notes widget (for example, I'm not) I would want to see all bugs relating to that component, but not drowned out with reports of every other piece of information. I would then promptly ignore plasma-bugs, or simply set up a filter so it goes into a folder and only check it occasionally. I propose the following: Instead of using "plasma-bugs" to all new incoming bugs, we assign one new assignee per per component i.e "plasma-bugs-component-widget-battery" This does not need to be a new mailing list, only a bugzilla user. Developers interested in that component can subscribe to that mailing list using "user watching". (preferences -> email -> user watching) We set up the original plasma-bugs user to do User Watching on all the newly created component assignees so that it remains exactly the same for people who don't like change. (or we set it to be in the CC list, whichever is easier) This will allow a developer(s) of an individual plasmoid to subscribe to and deal with a items on a component level. If this gets agreed I can arrange getting this sorted, though need a sysadmin for some things.
