Go wild.
I think the normal way of doing this is to create an account at bugzilla
called [email protected] then you can log in using that account
and add it to various assignees using the "users to watch" feature.

Ah, so the [email protected] is really a bugzilla
pseudo-user? But for the ext3 component was set to assign bugs to you
by default, as opposed to creating a fs_ext3 pseudo-user?
I'm just trying to figure out how the bugzilla system is supposed to
be working...

I guess so.

Ah. We'll need to change that. You don't want all my bugzilla traffic
landing on linux-ext4 :)

I'm far from a definitive source on that matter.
I'm not sure who's reading bugme-admin at present.

It is. That way we can have multiple people administer a category, etc.

You want me to create another pseudo user? is easy to do.

The planned way of doing things is basically to have a pseudo-user for
each category. Then anyone who is interested can just set up an email
watch on that psuedo user (go under "Prefs" then select email preferences
tab).
Some "legacy" ones are set up to still go directly to one user.
A (very) few people have requested mailing lists get cc'ed on some
categories, for which we've set up mailing list users, and had them
watch the categories too.

OK, could you please add a pseudo user for the ext3 category. That
way we can have both akpm and linux-ext4 watch that category.
Thanks!!

Done for ext3 and ext2 as well

I think this makes sense for ext4 (I think xfs was one of those few;
bugs go to [email protected] for that category IIRC) so at least
people see them.
Would anyone on linux-ext4 disagree with setting up the list to watch
the ext3 & ext4 categories?

On the theory that it is easier to ask forgiveness than to get
permission :-), I've subscribed [email protected] org to the
ext2, ext3, and ext4 categories. If this result in too much e-mail,
folks can complain and we can cut things back.
