967374 - add the ability to stop receiving email when a dependant bug changes

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: Email Notifications, enhancement)

Description

[Jason Duell]

I recently turned off "I want to receive email when... The dependency tree changes" in my Bugzilla prefs for everything except bugs that I'm assigned to.

But I'm still getting tons of email about this, with headers like

  X-Bugzilla-Reason: CC
  X-Bugzilla-Type: dep_changed
  X-Bugzilla-Watch-Reason: None

I can obvious filter those mails to /dev/null, but I wanted to file a bug, since AFAICT this is a bug.

Which Bugzilla version is this about? 
If it's a public Bugzilla, can you point to one bug number this has happened with?

I can reproduce the problem on bmo. I just got a notification for a bug I'm not following at all. But I suspect this is a bug in bmo.

I just got one for 

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=892488

"Bug 892488 depends on bug 956930, which changed state."

And I only use bmo, so I can't say if this bug is specific to that site.

Also bug 913806, many others--I can make a list if it's helpful but I'm guessing you don't need it once you've got a couple cases.

moving to the bmo product.

can you provide some more details about that email please?

after looking at the code, this is an upstream issue (we don't carry any customisations here).

"The dependency tree changes" email preference covers changes to the "blocks" and "depends on" fields only.  changes to the resolution of bugs listed in those fields are covered by "The bug is resolved or reopened" preference.

in other words, $user->wants_mail is passed EVT_OPENED_CLOSED not EVT_DEPEND_BLOCK.
