Hi all. A concept for a feature under BugId 359251

[Leon KUKOVEC]

Hi all,

I chatted with "timeless" on irc and he pointed
out that Bugzilla already has a feature that
allows people to receive only a single copy
of e-mail even when they're explicitly added in the
CC along with the 'ghost e-mail'.

This feature is called "User Watching".

The idea is to create a Bugzilla user, a ghost,
marked disabled and 'bugmail disabled'.
That account is put under 'CC' on individual bug and
regular folks can opt to 'User Watch' ghost, receiving
all the e-mail that would be sent to the 'ghost account'.

This mechanism might not be perfect, but it does the job.
I have done some work on the patch - changed DB schema by adding
'cc_group' table,
groups are shown in the CC, can be removed (addition is not yet
working),
single e-mail is sent etc. But should I really continue?

Maybe some administration interface on adding/manipulating
watchlist of 'ghost' accounts would suffice?

Please let me know,

Thanks.
