How to email specific users when status changes

web-app

Currently our process for bugs and new feature requests, is that once a developer finishes coding an issue, they will mark the status as ready for testing.  How can our QA team get notification that this issue is ready to be tested?

At the moment email alerts are not filtered per status.
However, what you can do is either add the tester as a watcher to the issue when the developer sets the status or write a plug-in that will "listen" to the issue status changed and alert the relevant person.

I would like to make this into a request for a future release.
I believe that the Gemini community at large would benefit greatly from such abilities.

"add the tester as a watcher to the issue when the developer sets the status"
Adding a QA tester is hardly a good option, as that means that
1) He would need to be added to every single issue added (and there are many).
2) He would then get an email notification for almost all edits on an issue
3) As the organization grows, this could mean adding many QA testers manually

"write a plug-in that will "listen" to the issue status changed and alert the relevant person"
What specifically would need to be done to implement this code.  I am not at all familiar with the underlying architecture of Gemini or the db data model.  Do you have any sample code that you can share?

Thanks
