Since you ask: I for one certainly do not want mail if something changes
in any bug report which I ever touched. That would get me mail for almost
all PRs in the database ;-)
I want emails, if I have explicitly added myself to the CC: list. It seems
as if presently everyone who has ever changed something in a PR is in the
CC list.

Change your email prefs to say that.

This is closer than you think to how i came up with the cc list
:)
It probably only *really* hurts people like you who touch *tons* of
bugs.
I can remove you from the cc list of every bug if you like, and you can
explicitly add yourself.

Why? GNATS did have a CC: list?

Indeed. Is there a way to count on how many PRs I presently subscribed
(just for the fun of it)?

I think I would actually appreciate this. You may also want to ask the
other professional bugmasters (Volker, Christian, Giovanni, Eric, ...)
Thanks

Bugzilla defaults to sending status updates to anyone listed on the CC
list for ANY change
This is especially bad for the account "gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org", which is
now basically getting spammed by Bugzilla from any minute change to any
bug. You probably should turn off most of those automailings for that
address.
And I think everyone by default should have "email me on a 'CC:' change"
turned off. If for some reason, somebody actually would want to know if
someone added their name to the bug, that particular person could always
go into their preferences and turn the option back on.

I just emailed a message about this.

Do other people want this?

Knowledge of CC changes doesn't seem to be particularly interesting.
Getting the bugzilla mail "right" seems a Sisyphean task. It may be
best to just draw people's attention to the fact that they can change the
settings for their own account. gcc-bugs should probably get as little
mail as possible.
