I was thinking this same thing, but then I realized that people *would*
include a pseudo-header for follow-up mails if it were documented that this
were necessary to get past the spam filters. If I'm not mistaken,
reportbug already includes pseudo-headers for follow-up mails. And, we
could even whitelist the bug submitter and the maintainer just to make it
easier for the two most likely to comment.
