Can't this be automated?
Actually, it can't, AFAIK.
Automating it involves:
* Teaching the spam-checking on gcc-bugs that gcc-bugzilla is another
name
for that list, so it can accept mails with just gcc-bugzilla in the
destination headers. (As it presently accepts mails for
bug-gcc@gnu.org.)
* Having Bugzilla put gcc-bugzilla in the To: header (as well as the
From:
header) but really send the messages to gcc-bugs instead (as the
headers
and where the message really goes are entirely independent). So the
headers from which a mail reader might take addresses to reply to
wouldn't
mention gcc-bugs at all. But this might not be something Bugzilla is
designed to make easy to do.
Bugzilla simply generates the entire message (once for each person to
receive mail about a bug, since each person has different email
preferences) and hands it off to sendmail (really qmail's sendmail
emulator).
If you know how to do it given these parameters, i'm happy to do it.
