[maemo-developers] maemo.org update + call to bugzilla expertise

>I assume you don't mean bugzilla spammers

Sorry, I meant spambots gathering email addresses. In our default
bugzilla setup email addresses were exposed. Some pages accessible
publicly offered bug listings with dozens of addresses. Since we were
(and we are) busy with the new website we decided to cut completely the
access to anonymous users.

> Personally I believe this is a bad solution for an issue tracking

We are not happy with bugzilla closed. We simply don't want to expose
users email addresses. If someone knows a good and quick fix/patch
please share it. As soon as bugzilla is not showing email addresses we
will reopen it.


>The fact that new users may not know that their email address 
>will be publicly viewable is a problem

It's not about users knowing or not knowing. Bugzilla or any other web
tool shouldn't expose addresses at all, or at least not in a way that
spiders can process.

Obviously we will fix bugs first and then we will go for new features.

Not according to https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1152 .
Ferenc is basically fixing stuff full time. Even if this is an important
issue there are other things that are more broken. Sorry about that.
