Assigning Issues to the issues List?

I just noticed these changes on issues to clear out old bug assignees.  I recall a bunch of mystery e-mails being used and now I see issues@ openoffice.apache.org.

That's odd, since that is a mailing list.  It is the mailing list that all bugzilla issues and issue updates are reported to.  It is automatically CC'd by bugzilla.  It's atom feed can be subscribed to also: <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-issues/?format=atom>.

So I think issues@ o.a.o is not someone who can do anything, including being assigned a bug?  And the subscribers to issues@ o.a.o already receive information about such an issue.

I suppose that this is a reasonable way to notify folks that the issue is unclaimed, although a none or no-one assignee might work better.

Exactly.  Every "product" has one or more "components".  For example,
the spreadsheet product has the following components:

code
configuration
editing
formatting
open-import
printing
programming
save-export
ui

And each component then has "default assignee" and a "default cc
list".  We have them both set to "issues@openoffice.apache.org" for
all products and components.  But the legacy project did fine-grained
default assignments to various product-specific mailing lists.

The "default assignee" field must be set.  But the "default cc list"
is optional.

My impression is that addition of issues@ o.a.o to the CC list is automatic.  But maybe that is only for new issues since the move to Apache bugzilla.  In that case, it makes sense to clean up old ones that way.

I had figured out together with Herbert some month ago that issues@o.a.o is not automatically CC'd - it has to be on the CC list or the assignee of the issue.

Assigning it to the list is how we indicate a "null" assignment.  It
doesn't seem possible to have the assignment field be blank.

What I did (and sorry for the noise) is reset bugs previously assigned
to *.oracle.com, since these are obviously not being worked on now.
This is prep to get ready for a call for developers.
