  • 57cb1ca7   Write the issue/merge request title in the notification email subject ... Browse Dir » 
    This changes the email subjects for issues and merge request
notifications from:

    Team / Project | Note for issue #1234

to:

    Team / Project | Saving issue doesn't work sometimes (#1234)

Rationale:

* Scan the subject of the email notification more easily when catching
up with a lot of notifications. Instead of having to open the email to
get the title of the issue or merge request, one can simply read the
subject of the email.

* Group messages by subject: email clients will group emails in threads
if they have the same subject.

  • d8a24003   Don't write the project namespace in email subjects ... Browse Dir » 
    For instance, the email "Subject" field changes from:

    Mattt / Ground Control | Saving issue doesn't work sometimes (#1234)

to:

    Ground Control | Saving issue doesn't work sometimes (#1234)

Rationale:

* Most people are receiving email notifications about a single fork:
the project activity, issues and merge requests are happening either
in a root repository or in a fork, but less often in several forks.

* It removes noise from the email subject. The namespace of the project
can still be read in the email body.

* For Entreprise users that have a single namespace "MyEntreprise",
having this repeated in every email subject is very noisy.

  • 44ab156e   Remove the email subject prefix ... Browse Dir » 
    This changes email subjects from:

    GitLab | Team / Project | Note for issue #1234

to:

    Team / Project | Note for issue #1234

Rationale:

* Emails should be as meaningful as possible, and emphasize content over
chrome. The "GitLab" name is more chrome than content.

* Users can tell an email coming from GitLab by the sender or the header
in the email content.

* An organization that works mainly with GitLab knows that
every SVC email comes from GitLab. For these organizations, having
"GitLab" in front of every email is just noise hiding the meaningful
information.
