This is not a problem. The bts processes all mails serially(once every 15
minutes).
Previously, the bts would wait for each email response to be delivered, before
processing the next bug email. However, Anthony Towns modified the code to
have the emails sent in the background, so that the 15 minute queue runs very
fast.

If there is consensus about this issue, I will implement the states needed in
the BTS to manage this. Then, it is only up to someone modifying dinstall to
send the new state change mails(probably simple, just changing a mail
template).
