I'm "also notified" about a bug and can't get rid of the junk!

Three bugs here:
1. I can't figure out why I'm getting mail for bug #46034.
   It just says "also notified" with my name but there is no
   apparent way to ge tmore info.

2. I suspect I should not be getting mail for bug #46034.

3. There doesn't appear to be a way for me to manually unsubscribe.

Ian.

I've seen several people report on #launchpad that they don't know why/how they are subscribed to a particular bug, and so far it appears that each time it's because they are subscribed to a duplicate. Ian, in your case, it appears bug #52309 is the duplicate causing this.

So I agree that 1. is a real issue -- Ian isn't the first to have it. 2. I have no opinion on. 3. is also a real bug, I think.

There is something wrong here.

52309 is a duplicate of 46034. 52309 has a task against firefox
(which is inaccurate); 46034 has a task against nvidia-glx (which is
accurate). This seems inconsistent.

The end result is that I'm receiving this mail in my capacity as
firefox bug contact even though the bug isn't actually anything really
to do with firefox. Furthermore, the mails that I get can't be
accurately filtered because they don't mention firefox anywhere in the
headers.

I shall experiment by changing the task in 52309 to nvidia-glx and
hope that stops the messages.

Ian.
