Description
Wayne Beaton
One point of reference: the committer email addresses are (currently) provided to us by the Project Lead when they either fill out the NCRF or elect a new committer. So it's not like they'd be getting access to private data. Should we expose committer email addresses to all committers, or just the project leads? +1 for a directory of committer email address (available to other committers). As you mentioned, this information is currently available in Bugzilla so it's really not 'private'. Any committer who is avoiding the use of Bugzilla simply for 'privacy' reasons, likely shouldn't be a committer on an open project ;-). This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.

Hi Wayne, This is an old bug so i'm wondering if its still valid and/or needed? Thanks!

Perhaps the fix here is to allow committers to view the email of users on accounts.eclipse.org?

Since emails are public in bugzilla, should we just allow all users to view the email of every user on accounts.eclipse.org? This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie. I'm closing this as WONTFIX. In practice, I don't think that this is an actual problem (I'm rarely asked for this information). > Are there privacy issues with providing email addresses to a restricted > audience? I'm thinking that the answer is a solid "possibly". > One point of reference: the committer email addresses are (currently) > provided to us by the Project Lead when they either fill out the NCRF or > elect a new committer. Committers are added and removed over time. Even after a few months the committer list would likely be different from the initial committer list. |
