Description: ------------ (No idea if the package version is correct, didn't get "don't know" option..) When filing bug reports user has to confirm his email address before the bug reports is visible online. However; The bug report is sent out to the mailinglists (at least pear-doc@) without any confirmation hence defeating the whole purpose of the spam system. Test script: --------------- http://news.php.net/php.pear.doc/ 10791 10792 10793 10795 (Intentionally not linking) Expected result: ---------------- Only confirmed bug reports to be mailed to the mailinglists. Actual result: -------------- All bug reports are mailed to mailinglists, before being confirmed.

Maybe related to #10344.

The main reason for it to email before confirmation is that people asked for it because some people just don't confirm. The idea being that developers don't miss any report, unconfirmed or not but I kinda have to agree with Hannes on this one and thus will look into it soonish.

The problem that Hannes describes (i.e. spam URLs get visible) exists only for documentation bugs. All other bugs are only sent to developers, and this shouldn't be changed (for the reason that Helgi mentioned). However, the problem exists (maybe [haven't checked]) for the RSS feeds and the planned emails to the bugs mailing list. Maybe we could restrict these two things (and the doc bugs) to show/send only confirmed bugs, while developers still get the bug emails after a new bug is submitted.
