Which is why there are occasionally bug reports that get closed by spam
sent to -done, unfortunately.
Wondering whether the BTS should require a certain string in the email
subject (like "[BTS]") for messages to {control,submit}@b.d.o? Of
course, reportbug, devscripts, etc. could then be set up to do this
automatically (well, presumably they should start doing it *before* any
such requirement was imposed).
