Automatic subscription to self-opened bug reports

10-29-2011, 03:54 PM

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to get automatically subscribed¹
to Debian bugs I report.

I mean, something like a "tag" I can use when I report the bug by e-mail
or something at reportbug I can select to automate this task.

As far as I can see, this can be done manually after receiving the bug
number confirmation but it requires of two extra e-mails from the bug
reporter: one to "bug#-subscribe@" to get subscribed and a second one to
confirm the subscription.

How are you people managing this?

Thanks for any hints :-)

I could be wrong, but I believe that you are automatically "subscribed"
to bugs that you report yourself. The subscription process is intended
to allow you to subscribe to a bug reported by someone else, but which
you have decided is important to you.

You are indeed wrong. How did you get that idea?

There isn't, currently. Bug #351856¹ has some information on that topic.

By "subscription" I mean to receive bug state or updates changes (like
merges, package re-assignations or getting other user's comments) and
this is not happening automatically, unless I have missed something.

I only get bug status updates when someone (either devels, packagers or
other users) add my personal e-mail address to the "CC" or "To" field but
not when they reply to the bug number itself :-?

In fact, when I reply to bugs I always add as "To" or "CC" to all of the
involved people who participates in the bug report in addition to the bug
report itself, just in case because I'm not sure that all of them will
get the message by just replying to the bug number e-mail address. I'm
not sure if this is the right approach, though.

If the original submitter is not automatically subscribed (and yes, I
believe you), that seems absolutely stupid to me.

Sorry for the bluntness.

I have noticed this also; I wonder how many times I have missed a comment
about a bug report I submitted because I assumed that, as the submitter, I
was automatically subscribed.
