Adding yourself as cc to a bug now causes that bug to be spammed to the irc channel and wikibugs-l. This didn't use to happen as far as i remember, and I imagine will be kind of annoying. (Quite likely, both those have the same cause).
We have a patch in SVN for this. Was it not applied to BZ4 before upgrading?
BTW, have we ever tried to get this patch accepted upstream?
Bug 10842 and bug 15585 related.
Patched.
Appears to be happening again, after our latest Bugzilla update. Reopening.
(In reply to comment #5) > Appears to be happening again, after our latest Bugzilla update. Reopening. Yes, because I kept out the changes of Bugmail.pm as the comment was too cryptic. See http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-December/064814.html .
I'm closing this as a dup of bug 43130 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 43130 ***
(In reply to comment #7) > I'm closing this as a dup of bug 43130 That bug's summary is too cryptic... I'm trying to understand bug 46282 and bug 46144: I ignore wikibugs and gerrit-wm doesn't seem too spammy to me. Turns out wikibugs is responsible of some 20 % of the 2013 traffic on #mediawiki, a third of that is about changes that are not new reports, nor comments, nor changes to keywords or any other info relayed to the channel... in short spam. :) Most of that is probably CC changes? $ cat 2013* | wc -l 100665 $ cat 2013* | grep -c wikibugs 22227 $ cat 2013* | grep -c "+comment" 10785 $ cat 2013* | grep -c "(mod)" 19543 $ cat 2013* | grep -c "(NEW)" 2500 $ cat 2013* | grep "<wikibugs" | grep -v "(NEW)" | grep -v "+" | grep -vEc "\-[a-z]" 7060
(In reply to comment #8) > $ cat 2013* | grep "<wikibugs" | grep -v "(NEW)" | grep -v "+" | grep -vEc > "\-[a-z]" > 7060 Replace with: $ cat 2013* | grep "<wikibugs" | grep -v "(NEW)" | grep -v "+" | grep -vEc "\-[a-z>]" 6533 because we also have stuff like [04:21:50] <wikibugs> (mod) wikibugs has gone missing from #mediawiki - https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/46144 BLOCKER->normal; +comment (jeremyb)
Commenting on a closed ticket is normally not that effective - feel free to reopen if you think that this is not a dup. Thanks :)

Thanks :) The other bug is [probably] way more general, there's a lot of stuff in that patch. This bug may also be made a bit more general if we find out that CC changes are not the large majority of those 6533 messages, which is impossible to know because they don't have any label like "+comment" or whatever. For now I just used this report to drop some stats. :)
(In reply to bug 43130 comment #6) > I'd rather say: Fix the bot instead of patching Bugzilla. :) Reopening this bug then.
