[Savannah-hackers] mail notifications broken

[Paul D. Smith]

Hi all;

I know some folks are aware of this (and I even saw a message about it
on this list a week or two ago, but no reply by anyone).  There's also a
support request in Savannah Administration (102666), and a bug in the
Savannah project (7324).  The support request says it's going on the
TODO list; no response yet to the bug report.

The issue is that Savannah is not generating any email notifications
when bugs/patches/support requests are added or updated.  I have all the
email notification info set up properly in, but I don't get any mail


This is really making my use of Savannah difficult so I'd like to know
if there's any likelihood of a fix in the near future, or if there's
something that exists today that I've missed.

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't understand how I can reasonably
admin a Savannah project without this feature.  Not only does it mean
that you constantly need to be checking for new bugs, patches, support
requests, etc., which is annoying, but it means that you need to keep
checking the content of every open bug, support request, etc. so you can
see if anyone updated the notes or added new attachments or whatever.

Also it doesn't seem that email is being sent to the originators of bugs
when the bug is updated (anyway, if I report a bug against my project
then update it I don't get any email in either role): this is bad since
people don't know when you've fixed their problem.

And even that is not the worst: if someone adds notes to closed bugs and
support requests (for example, to disagree with the reason for the
closure, or to report that the fix did not work) I will never see
that--who goes and looks through the notes of all their closed bugs??

Is there any joy for me?


I do want to say thanks for a great site!  No matter what, Savannah is
vastly superior to the ad hoc solutions we had for GNU projects before.
