When a new bug or patch is posted to a SF tracker, an email gets sent to python-bugs-list@python.org or patches@python.org.

But... when anything is changed or added to those trackers, an email is also sent to those lists. I would like to receive the first kind of traffic (new tracker issues) but not the second kind, except for those tracker issues in which I am interested (which I can get by explicit turning on monitoring of those issues, or by following up). The SF tracker admin has an option to allow this: all I have to do is uncheck the box that says "Send email on all changes". I would really like to do this. Would anybody who is currently receiving bugs or patches traffic be bothered if I made this change?

I find it sometimes interesting to receive these mails and read the comments which are posted, I cannot decide from the item description if I'm interested in this item or not.

(You could also route the mails them into the trashcan, and read them with a newsreader at news.gmane.org:gmane.comp.python.bugs or patches.)
