Good news! As of today, Bugzilla now sends out emails containing both an X-Bugzilla-Mentors header and a “You are mentoring this bug” message. This means that it’s now possible to highlight activity in your mentored bugs in your favourite email client! I use Gmail, so I’ve created a filter that searches for “You are mentoring this bug” and stars it; you might consider the same, or giving it a label so it’s easy to see at a glance if there’s something you should prioritize. For mail header filters, you’ll want to search for X-Bugzilla-Mentors containing your bugzilla email address.<\/p>\n
Note: this only works if searching for the mentor tag in the whiteboard yields a unique result. If the tag reads mentor=ashish and there’s an another account with :ashish_d, the result will not be unique so no relevant header value or footer will be applied to any messages sent to Ashish.<\/p>\n
Please make use of this! There is no longer a good excuse for questions in mentored bugs to go unanswered or overlooked; let’s make sure we’re providing the best possible mentoring experience to new contributors that we can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
