Description

Hello,

Today I've had a requirement of a functionality in Trac consisting in notifying to the reporter only when closing a ticket.

I looked for it in Trac documentation but I couldn't find it, I think it doesn't exists. Also, I looked for some solution through the internet such a Trac plugin or something similar, without success.

At this moment, I decided to develop this new functionality in Trac. At present, we can notify to reporter all comments or not, but we can't notify only when closing a ticket.

I attach the patch because I think this functionality would be useful for more people. Activate this new feature is very easy, it consists on adding always_notify_close_reporter as true into trac.ini.

[notification]
always_notify_close_reporter = true

I don't know if always_notify_close_reporter is a good name for this option, so feel free to change it if you find a better one.

I will be very happy if this functionality is included in Trac :-)

Thanks in advance.

Resolution: duplicate

What about also adding support for always_notify_close_reporter_except_when_reporter_closed_the_ticket? :P)

We should really make this extensible somehow, see #6217 and related.

I'm afraid that at this point, adding one more configuration setting to the already quite crowded TracIni#notification-section is not going to help…
