I'm not sure if /dev/null works. But I think it would be better to simply close the issue, ideally with instructions on where to actually report it. I see autoconf uses savannah for bug reports. So long as simply sending a mail to bug-autoconf doesn't open a savannah issue, I can set the autoconf maintainer to bug-autoconf, so that mails go to the right place. (It tends not to work well if two bug trackers talk to each other.) libtool is actually set up with proper debbugs integration; although bugs hardly ever seem to get closed; ref https://debbugs.gnu.org/rrd/libtool.html
