Alright, thanks for considering. I'm very happy you've followed up to a
bunch of new and old bug reports, but I must confess that bunch of lines
at the top kind of draw the attention away from the actual bts command
(if any), and having to carry recipients over from X-Debbugs-Cc to Cc
manually is a bit cumbersome, that's why I thought I should ask.

I'm definitely *not* asking you to stop working the way you did so far,
I was really just wondering whether you considered a different approach.

I understand the feeling completely! And caution is good!

For what it's worth, if you find a bug that's “evidently” closed because
a missing feature was implemented, and if you have a version to close
the bug report with, please feel free to do so, with -done & Version:
pseudo-header. It's easy enough to issue a reopen command if that turned
out to be a mistake.
