Bug-mail to specific mail addresses on subscription

[Kristian Lyngstøl]

The only way to filter launchpad bugmail in gmail at the moment is by content (ie: the footer). There are various X-Launchpad headers, but gmail doesn't let you filter on them. And the to/from address doesn't have a reference to launchpad either.

Launchpad supports multiple mail addresses. If the user could select which one is used as the To: address on a subscription-basis, I could filter by To: address. Ie, filter on <email address hidden>, <email address hidden> etc.

(As mentioned at the UDS upstream and launchpad session. Unfortunately I forgot (or misheard) who I was to assign this to for further discussion/contemplation)

You may have seen it already, but http://blog.launchpad.net/bug-tracking/gmail-filters-for-launchpad-bug-email has some hints on filtering bug mail in Gmail.

Speaking as a Gmail user and Launchpad developer, I like this idea a lot. I'm going to tentatively add it to the better bug subscriptions story, though I doubt that we'll have the bandwidth to tackle it as part of that (i.e. if we touch it at all it may be well into the new year).

Thanks for the suggestion though.
