A word on Trac ticket submissions...

[Ben Greenfield]

If the current banner doesn't work I don't expect a different banner to work.

I just looked around and it seems if we want the port maintainer to magically get cced we nee the entry  point for ticket submission process to be aware of the port the ticket is being filed against.

One method would be to  have the ticket submitter choose the port they are ticketing from a webpage that casues the cc field to be populated with the current known maintainer.

The idea is having  webpage with all/some of the ports listed and the url for each port would contain the current email of the port maintainer.

Could be spam issues?

Here is the trac method for creating a url with variables.
Preset Values for New Tickets

To create a link to the new-ticket form filled with preset values, you need to call the /newticket? URL with variable=value separated by &.

Possible variables are :

	• type — The type droplist
