The list of notifications on my notifications page consists largely of notifications triggered per bug on a summary basis (daily), apparently added automatically when one submits a bug.
Maybe the notifications could be optimized by allowing users to subscribe to all bugs, or all bugs related to specific packages, in the same manner as forums allows one to subscribe to all threads in a forum?
My thought is that those most active with submitting bugs probably have a large number of notifications that could essentially be triggered on the package level instead.
hmm.. actually I think this is how it works in openacs5.x. Looks like the answer is (again) to complete the openacs.org upgrade.
As I understand it, current upgrade problems are related to bugtracker. Maybe the task can be made easier by flushing/filtering the notifications related to bugtracker for the upgrade.
