it is, but we need to differentiate here: Mantis now sends out
notifications for new bug reports to the relevant package maintainer.
You should have gotten the notification i was referring to (that's what
the Mantis and mail logs tell me).

What Mantis _doesn't do_ in its current configuration is to send out
notifications for one's own actions to oneself (presuming that one
already knows about what has been done). That is why you didn't get a
notification for the test bug you reported against one of your own packages.

This is a configuration setting and can be altered, but then one (and
this includes users as well) would also get notifications on adding for
example a bug note. If this is something people here would like to see
on top of the now working notification mechanism for new bugs, i don't
really mind.

P.S.: I will send you some Mantis logs (aka evidence) right away, so you
can see what's going on from Mantis's point of view.
