Then bugzilla-daemon should autorespond telling them to not reply to it
and post on the bug. There's no reason every single person needs to see
this. The most important aspect of retard-wrangling is to not target
everyone as a potential tard.

Uhh... I'd rather be emailed directly than to clog up a bug report with
useless banter. And I'll often email a commenter directly if their comment
and/or my reply is off-topic. Yet somehow I don't spend a lot of time
window-licking or trying to wear my shoes as a hat.
