Can I request that Bug: and Closes: tags in our commits automatically
CC the committer on the bug that is modified?

Use case: I often fix (sci-*) bugs that I'm not CCed on, and a user
will leave a comment like "it still crashes on x86" that I never see.
Of course, I could manually CC myself on every bug. But that will send
everyone an extra email, and is forgettable. Plus, avoiding the manual
step is kind of the point of the automation, right?

One potential downside is that the commit author could wind up CCed
twice via an alias, but that could be solved with a sufficiently clever implementation. Or disregarded if it's not too much of a problem in
practice; the bugs will usually be closed, after all.

I'd quite like this as I do a fair amount of drive-bys.

Thanks for bringing it up.

Yes please. There were a few cases where I broke something when trying
to fix something and didn't notice the report.

Thanks for bringing it up.

Sounds good to me. Please file a bug for infra when the discussion
settles and I'll try to do it.

IMO the biggest issue is that the committer may be using a different
address than the one used on Bugzilla but I guess we can resolve that by retrying without CC.

Just to clarify here:
For your own commits (e.g. fixing a package you own) you are already
typically on the bug..right?
I assume the major use case here is proxying commits for others (where
they are on the bug, but you are not, either directly, or via an
alias?)

The hooks are all public:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/infra/githooks.git/tree/local/postrecv-bugs

Submit a patch and we can update the hook.

Right.

alias?)

Take maintainer-needed packages for example. No one else is maintaining
them, and I don't want to add myself to the alias or take full
responsibility for the package. But if I have ten free minutes I might
pick an open bug from the 24h recent list on bugzilla and do a drive-by
commit to fix a simple build failure. I'd like to be CCed on the
relevant bug in case someone comments on my fix.

While it does not hurt implement an hook I'd say that:

- CI already cc'es the author of the commit when he breaks a package or introduces a QA
issue.
This is related to a new bugs and, obviously, does not cover your use-case.

- If you are CC'ed by the hook and you are part of the alias that is the assignee of the bug,
you will receive two emails unless the hook integrates the alias.

- Based on the previous point, I'd suggest to use a wrapper if you want to be cc'ed on the
bug you are resolving:


#!/bin/bash

BUG="${1}"
COMMIT_MESSAGE="${2}"

repoman commit -c "${BUG}" -m "${COMMIT_MESSAGE}" && bugz --key "${APIKEY}" modify --add-cc name@gentoo.org "${BUG}"

+1

Even in case of projects where I'd already get mail, I treat CC
specially in filters to try to not miss it. esp relevant on some
noisy aliases like proxy-maint@

/If/ some aren't happy at the idea, maybe there could be a opt-out
feature that'd be adjustable on d.g.o? (having some of these automated
things be configurable could be something to think about either way).

I don't have enough information about the environment to know if it's
possible, but obviously it would be nice if the implementation could
avoid double emails. A pass through projects.xml might suffice, since
non-devs can't commit directly. It might take an extra HTTP request
though.

An alias or wrapper isn't much better than checking the box on the
webpage, at least for me personally:

* I still have to remember to use the wrapper and not the "repoman 
commit" I've typed thousands of times.

* I need two wrappers; one for repoman and one for pkgdev.

* I only want to be CCed if I actually modify the bug (not merely by 
committing), since that's what prompts follow-up comments.

* A few other people have said they would like the feature, and
we'd all need to reimplement the same thing on a bunch of machines.

* It needs www-client/pybugz installed =)
