I run a script from this repository that opens bugzillas for packages that fail to install according to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Fails_to_build_from_source_Fails_to_install/#_package_removal_for_long_standing_ftbfs_and_fti_bugs
Since I use my personal/work bugzilla account for this, it has some disadvantages:
I'd appreciate it if I can get a dedicated bugzilla account for this. Ideally, it would be a @fedoraproject.org email address that is redirected to me, so I can setup my email filters. I can open the Bugzilla account myself, once I get such an email address. I'd like to avoid creating a fake FAS account for the address but will do so if you instruct me to do so.
The email address could be installation-failures@fedoraproject.org or even policy@fedoraproject.org.
installation-failures@fedoraproject.org
policy@fedoraproject.org
When do you need this? when possible
When is this no longer needed or useful? when I burn out and stop doing this or when we stop requiring bugzillas for our policies
If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact? unhappy contributors, sad Miro
Thanks,

+1 for this alone
Perhaps fti@fedoraproject.org or fti-bugs@fedoraproject.org would be better? failures has a negative connotation and policy feels harsh.

I've submitted https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/ansible/pull-request/1269 with fti-bugs. Happy to change it :)
fti-bugs is OK
Commit 6b23ccf4 fixes this issue
Thanks. Testing the alias. So far the email was not delivered in 5+ minutes.

Perhaps a step was missed on the releng side? https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/ansible/blob/main/f/roles/fasjson/files/aliases.static#_5-8
Somehow it didn't get deployed. I did run the playbook, but perhaps it failed in some way that wasn't obvious on that host?
Anyhow I have run it again and confirmed it's there now.
The email alias works, thank you.
Metadata Update from @churchyard: - Issue close_status updated to: Fixed - Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)
So the email works and I have created the Bugzilla account, but it apparently:
I think the account is treated as non-packager and should be treated as a Fedora packager. Maybe it needs to be added to the fedora_contrib group?
I've added it to fedora_contrib / fedora_bugs. Can you check if it can do all it needs to now?
BTW, does this count as a 'bot account' ? if so, it likely needs the wiki page with information on it?

BTW, does this count as a 'bot account' ?
I don't think so. It does not even have a FAS account.
The account only ever comments with:
Please note that this comment was generated automatically by https://pagure.io/releng/blob/main/f/scripts/ftbfs-fti/follow-policy.py If you feel that this output has mistakes, please open an issue at https://pagure.io/releng/
So I am not afraid users will not know what to do if they need to reach out.
I verified the account can close bugzillas. To see if it can add blockers I need to wait for a new breakage, but I'll reopen this ticket if I find problems.
Thanks.
