Sending email to llvm-bugs was not planned.  Can you use GitHub notifications
instead?

How do i subscribe to only get notified about new issues, but not
about every new change
in every issue unless i have explicitly subscribed to the issue?

I do not have much experience with Github issues, so there might be an easy way
to get notifications for new issues only I am not aware of. If that’s possible I
guess that would work too. But IMO it would be great if we could keep llvm-bugs
alive and working for Github issues as well, to smoothen the transition and to
ensure that no issues fall through the cracks. A side benefit of having the
emails is that they are easy to view offline & on mobile/search/organize.

Is there any information available for the notification system you mentioned
earlier? The default GitHub notifications for llvm-project seem extremely
verbose: notification in Github UI for each new issue as well as each
interaction on an issue/PR/commit. Assuming 100+ interactions per day on
bugzilla, I think it will be very hard to keep up with the notifications.

I think it would help with the transition if we would have a document describing
how to migrate common issue interactions, like
* how to get (email) notifications for a single issue (CC on bugzilla)
* how to get (email) notifications for new issues only (current llvm-bugs)
* how to get (email) notifications for a component/label

Cheers,
Florian

Is there a way to do this with bugzilla?

The notification system I implemented works using GitHub teams and issue
labels.  If you want to subscribe to a tag, you join a team and then that
team will get @mentioned when that tag is added to an issue.  The mention
will subscribe you to the bug and notify you of future updates.

Ok, I will work on this.

Does llvm-bugs really only send notifications for new issues?  It doesn't
look that way from the mail archives.  e.g.
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-bugs/2020-March/082017.html
