Adding a member w/o an email address adds 'Andy Goodell' to the project instead.
Greetings,
Go to View, Members, enter just a name (I chose 'Eric Ott', one of my co workers), and try to add them. It brings up a page which suggests you should fill out more details. If you don't fill out more details (specifically, I didn't add an email address), and just click to add the member, it adds 'Andy Goodell' to the project, instead of Eric Ott.
I don't know if it emailed them or not, but that's a pretty serious bug, one way or another.
I'm trying to demo Pivotal Tracker to my manager, as a tool we could use to manage our backlog, but I don't want to add actual users, so I didn't want to enter their email addresses, just names that I could assign work to as a sample.
Best of luck fixing that bug...it's apparently a YEAR old bug?!? That makes me really nervous about your app.

Inappropriate?Hi Morgan...thanks for reporting this. I did find an accepted story for this bug from a year ago, but it either got re-introduced, or we didn't verify it properly at the time. It's related to Andy not having an email address, somehow. In any case, we'll fix it right away.

Inappropriate?Hi Morgan,
We deployed a fix tonight. We are still investigating how this problem got re-introduced. Just to let you know, no emails were sent out to Andy.
Thanks again for letting us know. -
Inappropriate?Greetings,
Thanks! The bug description eased my concern about spamming this Andy person, since...well, the bug is because they don't have an email address in the system. :)
I figured the fix would be something like disallowing no-email users, but it does make my testing a little more difficult. I'll make do.
Thanks again,
-- Morgan
I’m relieved
