You can set up watching in Red Hat Bugzilla under the Preferences -> E-mail preferences page. 2) You can add one account as a CC: to all bugs owned by the other two accounts. And then just use the one account to log in. In both cases, you can configure Red Hat Bugzilla not to send e-mails to the other two accounts (also in the Preferences -> Email preferences page) -- simon
That statement is false since according to upstream you can... "This script moves activity from one user account to another. Specify the two accounts on the command line, e.g.:" http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.0/html/api/contrib/merge-users.html Thus you would merge those two as in.. johannbg --> johannbg and then johannbg --> johannbg The other way would be delete johannbg and johannbg so I could change the email address of johannbg to johannbg
By the way what's the proper way for Fedora users to contact Bugzilla administrators to do various stuff like this since we dont run our own bugzilla instance thus we cant go our usual route of contacting the Fedora infrastructure guys ( they just redirect users to Red Hat ). It's just a thing that needs to be document properly on wiki page somewhere...
(In reply to comment #2) > That statement is false since according to upstream you can... Upstream may allow you to merge accounts. The Red Hat Bugzilla team do not allow you to. There are many reasons for this. > The other way would be delete johannbg and johannbg > so I could change the email address of johannbg to > johannbg We do not delete accounts either. You could change the login name from johannbg to something else (e.g. johannbg+fedorabugs or johann.bg) and then do the above steps.
