Right. The idea here is that there will be an additional recipient for
bugs which affect the version present in bpo; in the case where the
bug is bpo only, headers in the message will allow maintainers to
filter out these bugs in mail and the bug listings. [Possibly even by
default, but the opt-in mechanism is harder than the default-in to
implement.]
