Hi Tim. We seem to have a broken QA mailing list. Not sure about the new dev list either.

As the title indicates some CD and DVD discs fail to automount properly
in 16.04. This affects all flavors AFAIK. I have not been able to
reproduce this bug personally but there have been multiple reports on
the forums:

It does not affect all discs but one of the posters made a partial list
here:

Others have indicated that only audio discs are affected but I'm unsure
of that. It has been mentioned that blank discs are recognized by
Brasero but after burning they aren't recognized.

totally understand):

At least one of those affected is quite involved and I think would be
willing to test potential fixes:

And obviously another was willing to report upstream. Can someone else
possibly jump in and help?
Thanks in advance,
