Nut upsdev - Dec 2006 - new mailing list for Alioth tracker notifications

Everyone,

I think we have most of the kinks worked out of the new Alioth tracker
notification mailing list:

   http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-tracker

List membership is open to all.

For tracker items that you have submitted yourself, nothing has
changed - you will still receive email updates when someone comments
on your bug/feature/patch (or otherwise changes the tracker item).
This list is so that you can be notified of new items (instead of just
going to the tracker page every so often).

As with the SVN mailing list, I turned the archive off (since we can
always go back to the tracker items for history).

Also, we can optionally set things up so that the list notifies us of
*all* tracker changes. This could be useful if a user asks for an
update, and the assignee is not around to answer. I don't think this
would be too overwhelming to get one email per update, but I would
like to hear feedback before we turn that option on.

That's a very welcome addition. Just the other day I visited the tracker
to add a bug that was reported on 'bugs.novell.com' and found that there
were some other things that required attention.
