It has been brought to Sysadmin's attention that a number of subscribers to the konsole-devel mailing list were automatically unsubscribed from the list in the past few days.

This was an action taken correctly by the system, albeit in error due to a number of badly formed emails that were sent to the list.

These badly formed emails originated from KDE Bugzilla, and ended up being badly formed as a result of a user with a uniquely formatted name that contained a JSON string that was improperly handled by Bugzilla.

The users name has now been expunged from their Bugzilla account to avoid continued repeats of this incident.

If someone who has a degree of expertise with Perl (and familiarity with it's Email modules in particular, as the bug appears to be within those) and would like to assist with correcting this please contact Sysadmin. 

In the long term we expect this issue to be resolved as part of work Bugzilla upstream are currently doing (see https://www.bugzilla.org/blog/2023/08/26/bugzilla-celebrates-25-years/)

Thanks,

Ben
