*** (LS) Thanks Jean. These are good suggestions. And I appreciate
your kind words.

I know how to create a filter in jira, but how do I have an email sent to me?

I do feel that it is useful to use a 1 word preface in an issue title
to let people know the basic area that the issue affects, regardless
of whether it is a doc issue or not.  Often feature issues contain the
name of the feature, such as grant/revoke, early on in the title so
that people looking at the email can quickly determine if the email is
something that they want to read.  What I was suggesting was in the
same vein.

But of course I will go along with whatever the Derby community thinks is best.
