My reluctance to use these aliases has been based all along on the problem =
that I don't know for sure what email addresses they actually go to, and th=
us I can't be sure that the email is actually going to the correct authors.=

Subject: The useful alias addresses

Hi,

I seriously love the draft-ietf-blah@tools.ietf.org email aliases, but they=
=20
are getting quite dangerous.

A couple of times recently I have sent mail like this and received no=20
response (and no bounce) only to find that all of the authors have moved on=
=20
to new addresses.

Obviously, the tools aren't psychic, but could they update the alias when a=
=20
new revision is submitted. Or perhaps once a month?

Would it be possible to implement a way of finding out what an alias=20
currently expands to? Or would that be too easy to harvest?

And lastly, a wrinkle that I doubt you can help with. My sponsor=20
(huawei.com) believes that any email coming from a huawei.com address to a=
=20
huawei.com address MUST be routed internally. Therefore if such an email=20
arrives on an external port it must be a forgery. Unfortunately, the aliase=
s=20
are not mailing lists, but are true aliases so we fall into this problem. I=
f=20
you could fix it, I'd love you. But I suspect I have to go beat up Huawei=20
technical support.

Cheers,
Adrian=20

Henrik,

How do you update the draft addresses? Upon every new version, right?

If so, there's not much to do, than to ask that the people use their 
right e-mail addresses in the drafts. Tools or not, no one can figure 
out that the guy moved somewhere else, if the e-mail address in the 
draft says otherwise.

Ack, at least short-term. Long-term we should have an Email Address  
Change Tool which would fix addresses in the datatracker, list  
subscriptions and the aliases, all from one change entry.

Best,

I wanted to take a few minutes to capture the things that I heard on 
the call that took place on 11 Sept 2009 regarding the deployment of 
the database redesign.  I tried to capture the conclusions from the 
discussion and the actions that need to be taken.

1.  The database redesign is nearly complete.  The tables associated 
with the datatracker are stable enough for design work to begin, and 
in some cases it already has begun.

2.  After a discussion of the various deployment approaches, it 
became clear that the IESG datatracker needs to be rewritten for 
there to be a smooth transition.  The IESG datatracker is currently a 
collection of perl scripts with embedded SQL command to perform 
database queries and updates.  The public-facing datatracker used to 
be a collection of perl scripts too, but it was already rewritten 
using the Django framework.  That rewrite was needed to close some 
serious security holes.  The best way forward is to merge the IESG 
datatracker and the public-facing datatracker, so that both use the 
Djando framework and a common data model.  It is the common data 
model that will facilitate the incremental transition to the new 
database structure.  This project is too big for a code sprint 
effort, so a contractor will be needed.

3.  There are also many tools used by the Secretariat that use the 
database.  The Secretariat can make their own decisions about the 
best way for them to transition their own tools to the new database 
structure.  However, it should be pointed out that the Djando admin 
interface will probably eliminate the need for some of the Secretariat tools.

4.  The merge of the IESG datatracker and the public-facing 
datatracker requires an authorization model.  The model needs to 
accommodate read access from anyone, write access from the IESG 
members, and write access from the Secretariat.  However, we should 
not be short-sighted.  Plans for WG chair support, RFC Editor 
support, and IANA support should all be considered.  The 
authorization model needs to be sorted out in the next few weeks.

5.  The merge of the IESG datatracker and the public-facing 
datatracker doe not have to keep the user interface exactly as it is 
today.  This is an opportunity for minor improvements; the 
improvements must not significantly impact the project.

6.  The IAOC will be asked to start the process to hire a qualified 
contractor as soon as the authorization model is sorted out.  The 
process might be able to start before then, but potential contractors 
cannot offer estimates without this information.

7.  Some members of the Tools Team are needed to answer questions for 
the contractor regarding the existing code, existing database, and 
new database.  Some members of the Tools Team are also needed to 
perform QA on the contractor's deliverables.

Hi Adrian,

Having earlier replied to Jari's comment on this, I however now see there is
more that could be said:

On 2009-09-16 20:44 Adrian Farrel said the following:

Ouch.

The aliases are already being updated as soon as a new draft version is out.

I'm also working on improving the extraction of author name and email (this
is a side effect of work on a rewritten draft submission tool.)

> Would it be possible to implement a way of finding out what an alias 
> currently expands to? Or would that be too easy to harvest?

The alias file is already available, but there isn't a link to it in
any easily findable place.  I'm not sure if harvesting matters for
these addresses -- I suspect they're already very harvestable in drafts
and RFCs.  But anyway, the file is here:

  http://tools.ietf.org/draft/aliases

Hmm.  I see.  Well, what I _can_ do manually is to set up a replacement rule
which would rewrite any specific @huawei.com address to another specified
non-huawei.com address.  This does however not scale. In other words: I can
do that for a small number of individual addresses, but if you're looking for
a general solution, it won't help you...

Regards,

	Henrik

Hi,

>
> Yes, that's correct.

OK. So if we see emails going to the wrong place, that 's a bug and we 
should report it to you?

Of course, it's hard to see when emails go to the wrong place :-)

Any chance of being able to see what the aliases expand to?

Hi Tom,

I will add the tools-development mailing list to this reply as I think
this do have to do with requirements for future datatracker development.

These are not actually automatic. They are handled by the secretariat
and are result of their actions. The first one is entered when the
secretariat process the ADs approval email. The second when the
secretariat has made the announcement email go out, and the third when
the RFC-editor has been notified about the document.

Yes, these are the public messages.

Yes, which  primarily is intended for the authors, but you as potential
document shepherd should ensure that there are a response.

Yes, another email that usually contains questions that the document
shepherd need to ensure are answered.

As I said, they are not really automatic as you think. There is human
action behind them. I think I have had one case the last 3,5 years when
thinks didn't work as expected.

Currently the datatracker will send email to everyone on the
notification list for all state changes. The default set on the
notification list are WG chairs and authors.

I think to reduce the number of emails we need to define more roles and
define which state transitions are of interest for the different roles.
This means a substantial change to the datatracker. I think this part
can be considered in the future improvements and extensions. I strongly
believe the WG chairs will get a different perspective on things when
they actually get a tool that handles the WG process in a reasonable way.

I personally do appreciate the mail notifications. Maybe less for
documents that I am responsible when I normally anyway have the state
easily available on my dashboard and check if often. But for drafts that
I am a contributor or otherwise involved I do really like to get the
messages.

cheers

I think working group chairs who get enough documents approved for this to 
be an issue DO deserve our congratulations :-)

May we all have this problem!

Or, we could just add headers, when not already present, to indicate things 
like what document the mail refers to and what the new state is.  Then the 
determination of which messages are "of interest" can be made by each 
recipient in his or her mail filtering policy, where it belongs.

I don't think the number of times this happens in one's life, either
as a document author or as a shepherd, is enough to call it a real
problem. As a gen-art reviewer, I'd actually like to get all state
change messages for each document that I've reviewed, so I'm asking
for more, please.

All I ask is that the draft name is always in the subject field.
I actually find the IESG "Protocol Action" and "Document Action"
announcements fairly useless, because they don't include the draft
name in the subject, so automatic or one-glance filtering is impossible.

Here's my summary from the call on Friday (with Glen, Karen, Alexa,
Russ, Henrik, and me). I might have gotten something wrong,
so please yell if this doesn't match your recollection :)

Best regards,
Pasi

--------------------

- We're beginning to add access-controlled functionality to the Django
datatracker code, since it makes no sense to have totally separate
"public tracker" and "non-public tracker" code.  The first
access-controlled functionality will be common tasks done by IESG
(such as balloting).

- When moving access-controlled functionality to Django, the first
priority is given to functionality used by several community members
(as opposed to functionality used only by the secretariat) that is
used often (not just once a month) and that's relatively simple.  The
amount and complexity of the code should be kept limited, since bugs
in code that modifies the database could have more serious
consequences than public read-only pages.

- For authentication, the existing Apache htpasswd files will be used.
These files are maintained by the secretariat the same way as
currently (change requests via email/RT). For the time being, there
won't be any automatic functionality for creating accounts or
resetting lost passwords.

- The Django code will not access the htpasswd files in any way; the
actual authentication is done by Apache. Apache configuration needs to
be modified so that "/login/" URL (or something -- details TBD)
requires a password.  Django's authentication framework gets the user
name from the REMOTE_USER environment variable set by Apache
(this requires Django version 1.1).

- Apache will not request authentication for any other URLs; instead,
access control is done by Django code (based on a cookie set by the
login page). Pages that absolutely require authentication would
redirect the client to /login/; other pages might show different views
to unauthenticated users (e.g., anyone can view the ballot page, but
the "Edit" button is visible only for IESG members).

- For authorization information (who is allowed to do what), Django
will use the existing database tables (used by current Perl CGI
scripts) that tell e.g. which users are IESG members, who is chairing
what WG, and so on. It would also be possible to read the Apache's
.perms file, but it's not clear if this would be needed.

- I have not yet worked out all the details how this will be
implemented, especially how this works with Django's Group and
Permission objects.

The next actions will be=20

- Henrik and Pasi will work on getting the current functionality
(without authentication) working with Django 1.1, and deploying
it (possibly even before Hiroshima).

- Pasi will modify the Django authentication code to implement the
above, and do one simple access-controlled functionality (probably
IESG balloting) as an example/test.

- Henrik will talk with Glen about using Django's admin framework
to replace some of the current secretariat tools.
