OK, changed it.

I don't think this is the right way to do it, as you'll get email for
every change to every bug until it's assigned, but seeing as that's what
you asked for, and we can't seem to get vger to take bounces, I guess
it'll do.

Let me know if (a) it works OK, and (b) you want the driver ones changed
over as well.

BTW, would that be possible to forward messages sent to
power-management_other@kernel-bugs.osdl.org to
linux-pm@lists.linux-foundation.org?

Could you also change IDE to linux-ide mailing list while at it?

stupid question: why isnt this done via what most maintainers do, to set 
up your bugzilla account to generate notifications of the special 
power-management_other@kernel-bugs.osdl.org bugzilla user?

That would be better. Creating "users" for mailing lists may be
problematic - if it is, let me know.

for those who have not set that up yet, it's in:

  Edit / Prefs / Email Preferences / Users to watch

add power-management_other@kernel-bugs.osdl.org to that list and you'll 
be notified about new bugs and changes to existing bugs.

Still, I'd like the list to be notified, not only me (eg. I might be offline or
or unable to respond at the moment, or someone else may know how to fix the
problem).

Ah, you mean I should create a bugzilla user for the list and add
power-management_other@kernel-bugs.osdl.org to this user's watchlist.  That
will make sense. :-)

yep, and this way the special users have consistent layout as well. I 
suspect the SCSI thing should be done this way as well. Martin, do you 
agree with that, or is there some other issue?

I can try to do that, yes. Would be more consistent. Only concern is
Bugzilla's tendency to email passwords to the user, etc.
