It is an automated system of sending messages to developers. One message
is sent for every bug in the BTS on some kind of periodic schedule. The
massage contains the bug report subject line and a short message telling
the developer that this bug is still outstanding and needs to be fixed.

This information is already delivered to me, in a much more useful form,
in the "problems" reports from the BTS every Friday.

These additional NAG messages are of no use to anyone, and only serve to
increase traffic  for folks who are already dealing with large volumes of
mail.

I consider this type of e-mail to be spam, and as such I feel I have a
right to demand that the sender stop such mail.

I cc'd my request to policy, as I feel that this should be a policy issue
and not left to the whims of one person.

Thanks,
