Getting Started with Songbird's Bugzilla

How To Watch a Bug

Watch a bug by adding your email address in the 'Add CC:' field just below the Reporter's email address. Updates will be sent to your email.

Bug Watching: Watching a User

Watching bugs one at a time is good for following the progress of a specific bug, but often times bugs are related to each other. A good way to find these relations is by watching a developer who works on that part of Songbird.

In your Email Preferences and User Watching, at the bottom you'll find a textfield called 'Users to watch.' Add the email addresses of the users you'd like to watch (comma separated), the box itself serves at the list of users you are watching so if you want to stop watching a user, delete their email address from the textfield.

Who To Watch:
mig@songbirdnest.com
For all bugs, architecture, management, and othersuch nonsense

aus@songbirdnest.com
For databases, playback, playlist, portable devices and more

redfive@songbirdnest.com
For our Linux version

matt@songbirdnest.com

jkoshi@songbirdnest.com

Bug Watching: Watching a Component

Each bug reported to and accepted by our Bugzilla must be assigned to a particular Component classification. Each component classification has a default email address you may watch if you're just interested in bugs for that particular category.
