The "original" philosophy was that discussions

to keep people in the loop. This differs from the assumption of just the
listed members, but I'm not aware of the details of that configuration.
Not disputing that original approach, I just filter anything obviously
from Jira and don't read it...I do status updates in the tool itself.
The default (way back when) was that all TC members were included, and
I believe that to enter items (remember that comments to the TC list are
still comments, and if you use Jira SOMEONE needs to enter them) you had
to also be listed as a "developer".
Fortunately my TCs are relatively slowly changing now, and relatively small,
so this hasn't been much of an issue.
But I'd rather people enter their own comments than find that special someone
to take all of the emails and figure out what's being commented on.
My two cents...Jira is a useful tool; notification was the original reason
for making all TC members aware of changes, but anyone can read the summary
at any time.
Thanks!

True Peter, it is easy to add a person. And you bring
up another good
reason not to bulk add people, particularly for those who work on
multiple TCs.

Chet,
I personally think that it is a bad idea to automatically add all TC members.
By default, once added, users receive notifications of everything. The
resultant flood can turn people off as much as please those for whom this
information is valuable.
If someone wants to be added, it's a relatively simple task, no?

Subject: [chairs] For those TCs using JIRA
Bill Cox of the EMIX TC suggested that I should share the following information
with you.
Apparently, it was past practice to regularly update JIRA with new members
who joined TCs. I wasn't aware of the practice and I have been updating
participants in TCs only when asked.
Adding members to JIRA is presently very time consuming. We may have a
fix in place in the future to work off the member database but for now
I must set up users by hand. So I don't plan at present to resume regular
whole-scale updates.
If you are aware of people in your TC who should have access to the TC's
JIRA project but do not, please let me know and I will be happy to set
them up.
Let me know if you have any questions.
