Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?
tab=email
------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Possibly the above could be fine tuned, and only the CC's or watchers
would get it? As I am still fairly new to Fedora, and learning, I hadn't
considered getting a bugzilla account yet. Do I need to get one so I
don't get reports on every bug?
