Like most Mozilla developers, I get a lot of bugmail. Maybe 10% of that is important, e.g. bugs I filed, bugs I have to review patches for, etc. The other 90% of that is stuff I have a passing interest in.<\/p>\n

I have a couple of Gmail filters that I use to separate these two streams of email.\u00a0 They’re non-obvious, so I promised Paul Biggar<\/a> that I would blog about these so that he and others could do the same thing.<\/p>\n

To catch interesting bugmail, on Gmail’s “Create a Filter” screen, in the “From:” field put:<\/p>\n

bugzilla-daemon@mozilla.org<\/code><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and in the “Has the words:” field put:<\/p>\n

\"review?(nnethercote\" OR \"you are the assignee\" OR \"you reported\" OR \"you are on the CC list\" OR subject:\"review granted\" OR subject:\"review requested\" OR subject:\"review canceled\" OR subject:\"feedback requested\" OR subject:\"feedback granted\" OR subject:\"feedback canceled\"<\/code><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To catch less interesting bugmail, on Gmail’s “Create a Filter” screen, in the “From:” field put:<\/p>\n

bugzilla-daemon@mozilla.org<\/code><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and in the “Doesn’t have:” field put:<\/p>\n

(\"you are the assignee\" OR \"you reported\" OR \"you are on the CC list\" OR subject:\"review granted\" OR subject:\"review requested\" OR subject:\"review canceled\" OR subject:\"feedback requested\" OR subject:\"feedback granted\" OR subject:\"feedback canceled\")<\/code><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve modified them a few times and they work very well for me.\u00a0 It’s possible there are some cases that they miscategorize but I haven’t seen that happen for a long time.<\/p>\n

Update: In the first “Has the words:” field, you’ll obviously need to change nnethercote<\/strong> to something else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
