Description John-Mark Gurney 2014-06-06 18:01:43 UTC 
if you are the person responsible for a bug that is in an MFC state, you
will get spammed every day with an email about it.  This is excesive.

Environment:
System: FreeBSD carbon.funkthat.com 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #6 r265164M: Wed Apr 30 16:47:25 PDT 2014 jmg@carbon.funkthat.com:/usr/home/jmg/netgate/aesgcm/src/sys/amd64/compile/crypt amd64

N/A

How-To-Repeat:
Create a bug, move it to the MFC state, get excesive email.

Fix:
per eadler that he'll fix is sometime (who knows when), the easiest
solution is to add the following to your .procmail:
:0Wf
* ^X-Bugzilla-Type: whine
| formail -I "Status: RO"

or even delete it if you don't care...

the better workaround, which I told you, and you knew prior to submitting this bug is to change your bugzilla preferences.

in addition, I did not say I'll "fix is sometime".

finally, you didn't even bother to spend a the time to categorize this bug correctly as a 'bug tracker' bug. you should have known better.

the final workaround, which is in the email you didn't read, is to add a comment to the bugs you are being notified about.
