587772 - Rewrite hack that automatically CCs certain addresses if a specific group is set on the bug as an extension

Rewrite hack that automatically CCs certain addresses if a specific group is set on the bug as an extension.

Apparently we are maintaining a hack and porting it forward. It would likely be a trivial extension to write.

We could hook into http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/api/Bugzilla/Hook.html#bug_end_of_update and append people so they can remove themselves and/or hook into http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/api/Bugzilla/Hook.html#bugmail_recipients so that as long as a bug is in a group, addresses get email (useful when sending to a list / group address w/o a bugzilla account)

Does bugmail_recipients have access to the activity being performed in the mail that's being sent?  We're adding recipients only, and only if the group is added or removed during that transaction, not if the bug is just in that group.

13:13:04 <@justdave> meh, the port-forward from 3.4 was committed as a lump checkin instead of one per feature :|
13:18:20 <@justdave> here's the patch for 3.4: http://bzr.mozilla.org/bmo/3.4/revision/6635
13:18:41 <@justdave> I think it ported forward to 3.6 intact with a one-line change needed
13:18:55 <@justdave> http://bzr.mozilla.org/bmo/3.6/revision/7167 <- and that was the one-line change

This hack is moving into the "BMO" extension as part of the port forward to 4.0.

Sweet, are you the one writing that? I'll assign this to you :-)

Yep - this is done and checked in on the bmo/4.0 branch.
