To add more weight to it - here is the real user story.
I needed to find bugs related to Ctrl-D handling on Windows. Unfortunately
phrases like "Ctrl-D" are not indexed by Roundup search, so I used Google
query:

  site:bugs.python.org ctrl-d

Which gives bug pages as well as individual message pages, which is quite
annoying.
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Abugs.python.org+ctrl-d

Adding /msg* links to robots.txt should fix that.
