271134 - contributor.html lost its disclaimer about bugzilla 'email' addresses and reviewer-list.html probably never found it

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: bugzilla.org, defect)

Description

[timeless]

one important note http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/contributor.html lists bugzilla
accounts as "Email" addresses.

it should be clear to people that they are only for bugzilla and do not
necessarily deliver email

<blockquote src='irc:?user=justdave'>
doesn't it already say that? in the paragraph above it? "please do not email
these folks, the addresses are only listed here so you can CC them in Bugzilla"
or something to that effect (it used to anyway)

* blames morgamic ;)

looks like that paragraph got left on the other page when the chart moved :)
I don't see an easy way to bring it over without making the page look wonky. 
I'll defer to morgamic's creativity to find a way to include that there somewhere.

added a small not after the table - see if that is okay. :)

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Timeless was suggesting to also change the email column in the table to be
titled "Bugzilla User ID" or something to that effect as well.  The example you
showed us earlier on IRC looks good though.

>> Emails sent to these addresses will not be answered.

Well that's a lie, I plan to reply to some emails sent to that address.

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

How about "unlikely to be answered"?  You could even link the phrase to the
"Private Emails Don't Help Anyone" section on the support page :)

i suspect that the new location of the email list is http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/reviewer-list.html
could someone confirm that?

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (relman/hg->git project)]

The reviewer list is here: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/reviewer-list.html
New suggested text for the paragraph above the table of reviewers:

The following is a list of all people currently authorized to approve/deny review on patches. 

You can use these Bugzilla IDs to CC or needinfo a reviewer in Bugzilla. They may not be functional as email, so please stick to using them in Bugzilla.
