[Digikam-devel] Separate bugs mailing list?

[Gilles Caulier]

One user who receive all bugzilla mail ? It's weird...

typically, all developers are registered to a ML. Developers will be
triggered to interesting reports (typically each developer maintain a
part in digiKam).

If only one guy receive bugzilla notification, this filtering will be
broken. One people cannot dispatch/assign bug to right developers.
