When I started working with Bugzilla, it was impossible to put somebody's nick in the cc of a bug, or to assign it to the nick of a packager, if that nick wasn't also part of the e-mail address. Bugzilla just wouldn't find the right person. Just now I heard that the list of e-mail addresses of packagers that I use to find the e-mail address of packagers who don't have their nicks in their addresses will probably be removed. Trying to cc tv, blino and wally, because their nicks didn't work in Bugzilla before Also cc'ing Florian, because he thinks the nicks alone are enough (and I hope he is right!) blino matched Olivier Blin <mageia@blino.org> doktor5000 matched Florian Hubold <doktor5000@arcor.de> tv was too short for substring match (minimum 3 characters) wally did not match anything Well, for blino it works now, maybe that was my mistake before. *tv and wally still don't match anything* I now resubmit, but with only Florian in the cc
Take a look at the error message for tv's nick ;) tvignaud would have worked, or even Thierry ( you get a list then to select from if there are more accounts which match that name)
CC: (none) => thierry.vignaud
You're right, that was about my only giving 2 characters, still, where would I have found a 3rd character? How does http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/data/maintdb.txt tell me that tv = thierry = vignaud? I would never have known, hadn't I be able to look that up in the list you want to remove. End of last week, in the same maintdb, I found wally was the maintainer I needed. Without your list, I wouldn't have managed to assign or cc to him.
Well I you want I can make a list (but not public as requested by some people) (be careful when you write a real mail address in a comment... )
CC: mageia-webteam, sysadmin-bugs, thierry.vignaud => (none)Assignee: sysadmin-bugs => bugsquad
@ LpSolit Can you please remove the e-mail addresses in the description? Sorry for having done that.
CC: (none) => LpSolit
Closing, because this bug isn't needed anymore (and I wouldn't have filed it, if I hadn't misunderstood Florian)
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => INVALID
nicks don't work at the moment, blino and doktor5000 were matched because of their e-mail addresses.
CC: (none) => stormi
If you were running Bugzilla 4.0, you would be able to use nicks to CC or assign people to bugs. Blame dmorgan. :)
