Description Mark A. Hershberger 2013-06-27 21:01:52 UTC
Even though the bugs are marked private and restricted to a group, they end up creating emails to wikibugs-l.

This shouldn't happen.  I suspect this is a Bugzilla problem, but maybe there is something that we can do with the configuration.
Comment 1 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2013-06-27 21:03:50 UTC
Is this newly happening?

Previously bugs created in the security component did not generate emails to wikibugs-l. (Although sometimes they started off in different components, and would generate emails)
Comment 2 Thehelpfulone 2013-06-27 21:04:52 UTC
Could you email me an example?
Comment 3 Mark A. Hershberger 2013-06-27 21:46:57 UTC
Note that this isn't necessarily items that are in the security component, but items whose comment is marked private: "visible only to members of the privatecomments group".  An example is here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki.bugs/341168

The comment itself wasn't in the email, so maybe this is an issue where the UI just needs to have better explanatory text.

You marked a *comment* as private. You did not mark the complete *bug* report as private, because there is no such concept in Bugzilla.
As you can see in the email link above, the *content* of the comment was not sent, so this is expected behavior.

http://www.bugzilla.org/releases/4.0/release-notes.html#v40_feat_other says "Bugs: Bugzilla will now send an email for every comment that you mark or un-mark as being private." so this is by design.
