Summary	0001241: Consider a CC: bugzilla type field
Description	This would be to keep others involved in your bug. This might make up for having only one handler at one time on a bug. Keep others who are involved in your work (maybe project managers etc.) abreast of what is happening and invite developer comments and feedback.
Tags	No tags attached.

blizzy 2002-04-25 16:20 reporter ~0002391	Please do not add this field! Again, see my comment on 0001144. I'd rather vote for a "watchers" feature.

jfitzell 2002-08-21 19:14 reporter ~0003147	can we close this bug since we now have the "monitor bug" feature?

vboctor 2002-11-12 05:27 manager ~0003481	I think the current monitor feature does not cover the benefits of a cc field. The reason is that a user can not make another user monitor a bug. This feature can be satisfied by allowing user to multiple select users to monitor a given bug (or may select one at a time, although this won't be my preferred option). Is the aim to cc only registered users? or any e-mail address or allowing both depending on a config? Of course overloading Monitor feature can only achieve cc'ing of registered users. As for the benefit of such feature, it is very useful when reporting a bug or handling a bug, and you want to involve your manager, the responsible test engineers, support person, documentation, ...etc. Having such feature will give the reporter/handler the flexibility to notify people based on the contents of the bug. Also note that this requirement will not be satisfied by the custom fields feature.

vboctor 2003-02-13 06:15 manager ~0003690	This feature is now achievable through the reminders feature. See the following configuration options for more details: $g_bug_reminder_threshold $g_reminder_recipents_monitor_bug $g_store_reminders
