For a few years I have been getting sporadic and pointless emails about my issues filed with the pathauto module. I get the emails for various issues. I recall no emails for other modules even though I have filed many issues here.

The latest is an email today about #639960: Default user path should not be plural and it should not be "user/":

I never signed up for these emails and see no way to remove them. How can I stop these pointless emails?

It seems you have clicked on http://drupal.org/project/issues/subscribe-mail/pathauto, and then selected Own issues.

Go to the same page, select None, and then click on Subscribe.

Title: Random emails about pathauto issues » Issue emails should have unsubscribe instructions
Category: support » feature

Wow, that must have been done so many years ago that I never remembered doing it. It even stumped the module maintainer a few times.

Could the emails contain a reference to this?

There aren't settings that allow to change the content of such emails.
As the feature is implemented by project_issue.module, the feature request should be done of that module.

Title: Issue emails should have unsubscribe instructions » Remove weird feature for "reminder" emails about open issues (or at least make it so users decide, not project maintainers)

Actually, those random pointless emails aren't even from the usual subscribe stuff. There's some ancient feature where the *project maintainer* can decide if their project should send out these email reminders. EVIL. One of many things that needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt properly as part of http://3281d.com/2009/03/27/death-to-subscribe-comments

p.s. it'd also be nice for the issue emails to include unsubscribe instructions, but that's really a separate issue from what was reported here... that lives at #402950: Subscribing to d.o. issue queue gives e-mails that don't have any unsubscribe links but I don't want to mark this one duplicate, since this is also something that should be fixed. So, if you're specifically interested in unsubscribe instructions in issue emails, see #402950. Thanks.

Title: Remove weird feature for "reminder" emails about open issues (or at least make it so users decide, not project maintainers) » Add a way for users to opt-in for reminder emails about open issues per-project
Version: 6.x-1.x-dev » 7.x-2.x-dev

I'm running into this as part of #2000306: Remove per-project email notification functionality for D7 for the Drupal.org D7 upgrade. Thankfully, this is not a heavily used feature on d.o right now:

mysql> SELECT COUNT(nid) FROM project_issue_projects WHERE mail_reminder != 0;
+------------+
| COUNT(nid) |
+------------+
|         11 | 
+------------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)
mysql> SELECT n.title, n.nid FROM project_issue_projects pip INNER JOIN node n ON pip.nid = n.nid WHERE pip.mail_reminder != 0;
+--------------------------+--------+
| title                    | nid    |
+--------------------------+--------+
| Event                    |   3238 | 
| Mailalias                |   3265 | 
| Webserver authentication |   3825 |

This feature was mostly already gone from the 7.x-2.x branch since we never ported that custom per-project checkbox when editing a project node to a D7 field, and none of the cron stuff was ported, either. ;) All that remained was a case inside _project_issue_mail(). I talked to tvn in IRC and she agreed this is weird as a per-project setting that maintainers decide. So, I just pushed a commit to finish killing this feature as it currently exists:

http://drupalcode.org/project/project_issue.git/commit/d2105d9

So, I'm re-scoping this issue to be about re-adding this kind of functionality as a per-user opt-in setting, not something project maintainers decide and subject their users to.

I'm not going to tag this for "Drupal.org 7.1" because I don't think it's a high priority post-launch...
