Add recipient exclusion field to email notifications for broken builds

XMLWordPrintable

      There are cases in build setup where you want to have "notify people who broke the build" or equivalent selected, but certain people (or internal system committer users/etc.) should not be notified just because a developer broke the build.

      In my case, it's cause we have a separate repository with CI utility scripts that is included in the checkouts. As it stands now, if a dev on the main project repo breaks something - any committer on the CI tools repo ALSO gets notifications of those failing builds in the mean time. Granted - they could be a build breaker, but in our environment, that's the .1% case.

      Suggested implementation:

      Exclude Recipients: [ ] - takes a comma separated list of email addresses
      and/or
      Exclude Patterns: [ multiline ] - takes a newline separated list of regexes or email addresses

      Note - I've listed both mailer-plugin and ext-mail-plugin as they both have this functionality, but I expect that this issue will need to be split/cloned.
