| Issue 2615: | Option to use preferred email address only for notifications, not as committer ID | |
| 3 people starred this issue and may be notified of changes. | Back to list |
Affected Version: 2.8.3 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Rebase a patch using Gerrit's interface 2. 3. What is the expected output? Gerrit uses my identity email address as the committer address. What do you see instead? Instead Gerrit is using my preferred address as the committer address. This may be preferred for some users though, see below for further explanation of our use case. Please provide any additional information below. We recently upgraded to Gerrit 2.8.3 and a behaviour changed on us which was unexpected. Gerrit used to use your account's identity as the committer id when rebasing via the Gerrit interface however now after the update we've noticed it is now using what the user set as the "preferred" email as the committer id. I guess this could be seen as both good or bad change depending on how you were using the preferred email before. What is desirable for us is the ability to set a separate email address for email notifications and for when Gerrit needs to use an email from you for committing whether it be preferred or notification email. As a user I may want all my notification emails to route to a certain email address but my public facing email to be used when committing may be a different one.

Right, before it just used the Gerrit id as the committer ID. Now it uses the user's preferred email address. But in many of our cases, our preferred email (used to collect the many notifications Gerrit sends) is different from our main "identity" email. We'd like to be able to specify "use the identity email if you need a committer id" since it's not appropriate for our preferred email address to appear as the committer id (it's a secondary email address used to collect notification emails).
