Re: Bugzilla upgrade to release 4.4.6 - Testing needed

[Andrea Veri <av gnome org>]

And two more details I missed:

---
How can I login?
---

If you didn't change your password between today and the 2014-12-08,
your login will succeed by using the same login information as
bugzilla.gnome.org.

---
Can I update bugs without annoying people with e-mail notifications?
---

Yes, you can. Currently e-mail notifications are disabled from the
test instance so no one is going to receive a single notification from
your actions. The database in use will be trashed when the testing
week will end and the move to production will take place.

cheers,
