In the case of the BTS: it used to email me but that broke a couple years

email from any bug reports.

Andrey Rakhmatullin asked "what is that class?".

It's unclear to me. From the last discussion [1], it seems like it should be
everyone. Maybe it is everyone whose mail infrastructure looks at DMARC [2]?

I think Sébastien Noel's 2021 note to the bug report is germane to this
discussion:

"""
Same observation here:
DMARC aggregate reports notifies me that emails sends to the BTS
are not delivered to the final recipient.

I should not be surprised anymore if bugreports are left un-answered,
maintainers are simply not getting notification...

Since the last comment of this bug, 4 months have passed and no
reaction.
I suspect that nobody recieved the last email, and my guts tell me
that i'm writing to /dev/null rigth now :(

Without a working BTS, i'm wondering :
Is the project still interested by users' feedback ?

Alternatively, BTS users that are interested in others getting their emails might be better off posting from a domain that doesn't have a DMARC policy that's designed to be used for domains that send only transactional email (i.e. no human users). It's working fine for me.
