I'm working on three bugs, specifically: So I think I recall why it was done the way it is done. We pretty much copied Roundup, which at the time had the best reputation for email interaction. Roundup wanted to intercept the conversation between people as transparently as possible. So replies go through roundup and are relayed to all subscribers. Emails that came from Bugtracker <[email protected]> obfuscate the sender so you don't know who it came from. Emails that came from Real Name <[email protected]> screw up address books - you would end up with loads of bogus entries for people and end up sending private email to the bug tracker. So Richard settled on using the genuine name and email address, but subverting the replies to go via the tracker.
