noise in the list. The same could be said of many other mails we
receive, like archive notifications, testing migration, and even bug

most of that stuff since is easier to me to see the report.

About all of this, again it shows the usefulness of having fields in
d/control that allow the tools to automatically do things like talking
with upstream bug trackers.
