Hey, I'm back, I had a bunch of exams (and still have some next week
:-() and completely forgot about this thing :-P

Ok, I'm sorry then, I didn't have a clear idea about our bugzilla
setup and how bugzilla actually worked.
Anyway I'd still say that if I'm watching a whole product and someone
assigns a bug to himself I would be fine to not receive any more mail
from that bug since someone else is caring about it.
It's not like you decided to watch a bug and you get unsubscribed,
there's CC for that, we're talking about watching a whole product and
not getting notifications for assigned bugs.

I finally managed to come up with some good filtering with gmail, I
don't have disk space requirements and I can easily ignore bugs I
don't care labelling them by product name. So I'm fine to leave
everything as it is now, if any other gstreamer hacker will feel the
need for this change I guess we'll bring this up again.

Thanks for making everything more clear and sorry for the noise!

Ciao,
