When you BCC: an entire list of developers and others via resend, without any 
explanation at all, how are recipients to know what your purpose is and 
determine whether it is relevant for them?

In my in-box the mails shows as being from bugzilla-demon@ freedesktop.org and 
I had no reason to examine the headers (which I normally do only when 
investigating whether a message is spam or a phishing attack).  The resend 
information is buried in the long list of transits that the message made.

You are subscribed to libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org, and I BCCed
this report to that ML. I did that because I'm soliciting opinions on
how to proceed.
