Several people have reported on the Extras list that updating the initialcclist field in owners.list does not propagate to Bugzilla. I've not used that feature for a while but have placed a call on the Extras list for those who have to fill in the specifics here.
For me it didn't work when bug 196616 got filed, I co maintain this with Jindrich Novy and I'm in the initial-CC field of allegro (and have been for a long time). So when this new bug got opened I would have exected to be put in the CC-list which didn't happen.
Same here. I was on the initalcclist in owners.list for glabels (which I've since taken primary maintainership of in Extras); but at the time that bug #197633 was filed, the reported had to add me to the CC: list as Bugzilla wouldn't do it automatically as it should have.
dkl -- I'm not sure how the magic for this happens. If I should point somewhere else, just let me know where.
This is something that Elliot should look at. I do not handle that side of things.
Has initialcc from owners.list to Bugzilla ever worked before?
I suppose it has, at least upstream is auto-Cc'd on FE pcsc-lite bugs and I believe fedora-perl-devel on the vast majority of FE perl-* packages, and there are plenty of other examples around. Hopefully no poor soul has been tortured with the task of manually entering those to Bugzilla.
Any progress here? I think this is pretty much a showstopper for package co-maintainership in Extras.

Has he time, interest and access to the machines to fix this shit these days? I don't think so. Warren, Jeremy, how do we get this solved? It's lingering around far to long (I in fact thought this was fixed in between as I heard no complains for quite some time)
Created attachment 143872 [details] Possible fix For the record, here's a potential (untested) fix sent to Warren and Jeremy in PM last Thursday: off-by-one error, resulting in the script trying to use initialqacontact from owners.list to populate initialcclist.
Ville's fix looks good; I've committed it and put it on the running copy so the next run of the script should pick it up
I think this was fixed and we're using the pkgdb now anyway, so closing.
