There actuatually seems to be a trend to use 'kthxbye' nowadays, which
is not documented, but seems to work, and a lot cooler and lolcatter

 From http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
	quit
	stop
	thank
	thanks
	thankyou
	thank you
	On a line by itself, in any case, possibly followed by

So 'quit' would be perfectly fine, and actually very useful, ie:

I mail control and cc: a bug number@bugs.debian.org

  tags XXXXXX moreinfo
  sevrity XXXXXX serious
  [more commands]
  quit

  Blah, I need you to provide all this extra info, blah...
  [more info on the bug]

So that control doesn't try to parse evrery line of your mail and get
confused, signatures included :)
