1335012 - sometimes i don't get e-mail for changes to bugs in a component i watch

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Extensions, defect)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

I'm not certain whether this in a general Bugzilla issue or a BMO issue, but I'll file here since I don't use any of the BMO-specific mail stuff.

I watch the "Balrog: Backend" and "Balrog: Frontend" components of the "Release Engineering" product on BMO. Twice in the past week I've noticed missing mail after someone has made a comment. First for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1326074#c1, and then for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1304561#c1. Others have responded quickly after those comments, so clearly _some_ e-mail is being sent for them.

I get lots of other e-mail for these components every day, so the component watch doesn't seem to be broken in general. However, I noticed that in both cases above, I'm not the creator of the bug, nor on the cc list, so I wonder if that plays a factor.

Here's what my e-mail preferences look like: https://people-mozilla.org/~bhearsum/sattap/a6302f54.png

Probably related.

I'm beginning to think that component watching is completely busted. I have received zero e-mail about https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1334100, which has multiple comments over different days.

this turned out to be a misconfiguration on ben's part, we can later evaluate if we need to change component watching to have a higeher precedence than normal email settings.
