Forwarded messages to -dist MLs
1. Adding pkg name to forwarded messages:

Big corner cases? Well, i have plenty of imagination how to encode it in
place on otherwise one pkg name.
2. Threading, message-ids:
>> If not "References" i'm will be OK with "X-Resent-References" or

That's sorting, not threading. Latter means collapsed subject line with
number of replies shown; slrn highlights your name, thus by seeing it
with any number brings you on business immediately.
Checking and reading successive #ZYX is a different thing.

Again extremes. Why every? Currently these are automatic generated
(control messages) and messages without in-reply-to.
The latter is a very strange, WRT information available in bts. Why
people can't download mbox formatted message and reply without any
problems, i.e. `mutt -f`? BTW, good policy to get rid of all spam, or
it's not?
About non-triviality. I've got impression from using web interface, that
all messages are stored in associative form, i.e access is fast, bug ID is
a key.
