Red Hat Bugzilla 661698 0 low CLOSED RFE - Need a link / button / replyto to unsubscribe from specific BZ 2021-02-22 00:41:40 UTC

Internal Links: 661698

Description Kevin Fenzi 2013-08-29 01:24:35 UTC
Fedora CC's any bug in the "Package Review" component to a package-review.org public list. 

Unfortunately, adding the "Unsubscribe me from this bug" link ( bug #661698 ) means that anyone who subscribes or reads the archives can just unsubscribe a bug from the list and it drops off. ;( 

Is there a way we can disable this footer for this user? 

The user is 'package-review.org' 

Happy to provide more info or entertain alternate solutions.

Comment 1 Simon Green 2013-08-29 01:35:34 UTC
The way this will be implemented is that we will create (yet another!) group, maybe 'cannot_unsubscribe'. Users in that group will not have the unsubscribe link in the e-mail. This group won't be inherited from admin.

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2013-08-30 15:24:38 UTC
Thanks for the quick reply. :) 

Any idea what timeframe we are looking at for that? 

Our package-review list is pretty sad right now, I think due to the bugzilla emails going to our archive and search engines following the 'unsubscribe me from this bug' link, resulting in most of them dropping off the list. ;( 

Or is there any better way to do this? Ideally would be something that (normal) users couldn't remove either.

I'll leave that for the PM to answer.

Do you have any assertion to support this claim? token.cgi is not allowed in the robots.txt file on bugzilla.redhat.com. I would suspect that most search engines to follow the file, even if linked from another site.

We can write a customisation that ensures that the selected e-mail address is always sent an e-mail from Red Hat Bugzilla when a specific condition is met (and the user otherwise has access to that bug).

If you want this, please file this as a separate bug.

I've scheduled this bug for the 4.4.0009 release, currently planned for release in the week of September 30th to October 4th.

I don't. I guess it could just be some group of users being evil, but it seems like it would be more work than most users would go to.

Can do. 

Thanks!

Just a followup:

Originally I reported here:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3955
because recently I have seen the issues many times that package-review.o tries to remove itself from package review requests like:

Do Bugzilla deploys hotfixes? if the fix is available any specific reason to wait for next scheduled release?

> Do Bugzilla deploys hotfixes? 

Yes.

Because this change is not a candidate for a hot fix. We generally only deploy hot fixes for serious regressions. This is a new feature, not a regression. Secondly, it has not been tested by the QE team.

All going well, this should be part of Bugzilla 4.4.0009, which will be released some time in the next three weeks, subject to QA testing.

Please e-mail bugzilla-owner if you don't want the unsubscribe link to appear on e-mails sent to your e-mail address.

Comment 16 Simon Green 2013-10-04 00:46:19 UTC
This change is now live. If there are any issues, do not reopen this bug.
Instead, you should create a new bug and reference this bug.

Right. I have not mass readded anything yet. I was hoping bug 1003675 would land soon and I wouldn't need to. ;)

Comment 20 Parag Nemade 2013-10-21 15:46:19 UTC
thanks. lets wait for fix for bug 1003675.

Comment 21 Jason McDonald 2013-10-22 02:15:55 UTC
The fix for bug 1003675 should reach the production server during the week starting October 28.

Comment 22 Parag Nemade 2013-12-09 07:55:58 UTC
please provide update on this bug. Just now I see this update which looks to me not actually done by user.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_activity.cgi?id=1036462

Is this bug not fixed yet?

Only package-review.org have the don't-add-an-unsub link flag on it. AFAIK, e-mails fonts-bugs.org will still have the un subscribe link at the bottom of the e-mail.
