Comment 1 Matt Tyson 🤬 2016-01-14 00:18:04 UTC
The normal behaviour here is to only email dependent bugs if the bug state is set to CLOSED, or changed from CLOSED to an open state.

Bugzilla won't notify dependent bugs of every state change.  This is intentional and I don't see a reason to change from upstream behaviour.

> # If this bug has changed from opened to closed or vice-versa,
> # then all of the bugs we block need to be notified.
