Kathryn Presner has notified us that she is not receiving some emails from Themes TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/.. I’ve been investigating this issue and found that the emails do get sent out, but they are sometimes broken – they are sometimes missing the ‘To’ headerHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes..
I’ve tried to find the root cause of this, but with no luck. Our trac install has plenty of custom modules, and a few local patches. One of them does modify the notification.py file, but i couldn’t locate any code that could cause this issue.
I’ve looked through the themes mailbox for automattic user, and found around ~1100 emails since 2014 that did not contain the To header (and were from themes trac), which is quite a big number as there’s not that many emails coming from themes trac.
Can somebody who has worked with customising / writing patches for wporg Trac have a look at this issue? I know @nacin did some, not sure who else.
An example comment for which the To header was missing is this one. I can find more if needed.
