I'll let someone else figure out such issues.

But for the record ... as someone who's used bug databases for
some time, the quantity of email they often send is apalling.
It's a major factor in why some folk detest bug tracking systems.

For someone who's agreed to fix the bug, or who submitted it in
the first place, getting email may be appropriate.

For anyone else, it tends to create fantasies of leaping through
screens to strangle whoever inflicted all that email on them.
Or ... just wholesale ignoring of all such email, which is rather
counter-productive.

So posting such stuff to the main developer list should IMO never
even be considered.
