can people from this list *please* include something specific to the actual package/topic in the Subject of emails to bug reports? At the very least, something in the first few lines of the content saying what you are pinging?

Or even better: properly set In-Reply-To / References.

Just to clarify, In-Reply-To and References are all good, but they are not an adequate substitute for a useful mail subject.

You can easily do this by downloading an email from the bug thread and replying to that.

Luckily, if you do that, there's a great chance that you'll get both a helpful Subject and References. :-)
