What version are you running?
1.6.10

What's the URL of the page this enhancement relates to, if any?


Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.

- Sometimes I have to make some cosmetic changes to the review request like updating the data that I inserted while creating the review request. The changes may be as small as adding or removing a bug number. However I do not want an email to be sent to the reviewers for such changes. Sending a review request may waste the reviewers time if they go through the changes only to find out there was actually no update.

What operating system are you using? What browser?

-Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago)
-Google Chrome

Please provide any additional information below.

A solution could be to add a flag to the publish dialog, checking this box will not send an email or have a separate publish button which does not trigger email update.

I'm not sure if there is a way to do this, but I would also like to be able to publish without sending out an email.  

I want all the engineers to be able to see all of the comments from each other.  There is no way that I know of for that to happen unless each of us publish.  However, I don't want to publish because I am not ready to publish to the world yet.  I just want the other engineers working on the fixes to be able to see my comments and for me to be able to see their comments.

A way to customize would also be nice.  Something as simple as a list of people could work.  If empty list (as opposed to omitted) no email.
