I agree. I was just thinking "I'd like to watch certain packages, be |
| 28 |
aware of commits et al, but not get involved in ongoing stuff" too. |
| 29 |
|

The rule should be simple: CC me on any bugs to this list of packages. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I can then unsub myself from individual bugs I don't care about. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Then there are packages that have changed in the past unexpectedly and |
| 35 |
bit me (badly sometimes), so on those I'd like to know about any commit |
| 36 |
going in. Guess I can set up a git pull + filter myself there, but if |
| 37 |
this is done upstream then it can work for everyone, and not waste |
| 38 |
duplication effort. |
