Admin notifications for more than 1 email

[novasource]

Please allow admin notifications to go to more than 1 email address. It could be as simple as allowing a comma-separated list.

Better yet, allow sending admin notifications to all people in the administrators role.

This has already been attempted before in #3969, and it was closed as won't fix. Mark Jaquith said it would be a big patch (and it would), and suggested that one set up an email address that forwards to all the admins (see comment 4). That being said, making the admin email filterable, should be a fairly easy/small patch, and would allow you to write a plugin to create this functionality.

If anything we'd eventually refactor the admin email aspect in another direction and perhaps tie it to an account (or accounts). This is a source of confusion often. Closing as wontfix as had previously been done.

I think we should re-consider this.

Ideally the option should go and we should send notifications to people based on caps/roles rather than a seconded hidden email address which might not be up-to-date

This ticket proposed a comma-separated list. I closed this due to a few other tickets proposing the opposite direction (which is what you're suggesting be considered), such as an owner role or some other rework that moves away from the option and toward users. Problem is, now I can't find a ticket now.

I reopened this as a new ticket in #16481

Seems like 16481 is just asking to remove the email on General Settings, not to create a new 'owner' role.
