Can I configure bugzilla to email me whenever an issue is assigned to person X?

Watch" the user in question. Any event that would trigger an email to them triggers an email to you.

Login to Bugzilla, select the Preferences link and then select the Email Preferences tab. The User watching field is near the bottom of the page right after the table of email preferences.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
