Rename email field in gerrit trigger configuration for better understanding

XMLWordPrintable

      Hi all

      that took 3 days to recover this issue! When I filled in the fields of the gerrit trigger plugin configuration, I just put my email address into "E-mail" - I thought, this is just for some administrative stuff, when some severe error occurs.

      Now, I entered a comment into a gerrit patch, but nothing happened. I did an ssh gerrit stream-event on the console, and all messages arrived as expected. Then, after looking for the 853rd time at the configuration, I saw the help text for this E-mail field: "The e-mail of the user in Gerrit. CommentAdded events from this user will be ignored by Jenkins."

      I assume, this should prevent event-loops, but this is not clear from the field name. I'd rather propose something like

      Ignore-Pattern
