Nope, but thanks for playing, Eli.  That does not include the info from
Stephen's explanation.

1. Users _will_ hit `Reply' and `Reply All'.  And they will reply to direct
replies to them from other users, i.e., mail that comes from other users and not
from the bug tracker.

Please add information about what to do when you reply to a message that has
address@hidden, and not <bugnb>@debbugs.gnu.org, as a recipient.

It is not enough to tell users that they must always edit the recipient
address@hidden, replacing it with <bugnb>@debbugs.gnu.org.  That is
obviously not going to happen - including for users such as Eli Zaretskii.

2. Please add information about what kinds of editing of the Subject line are
no-no's (at least in the case where the recipient is address@hidden).
E.g., do not remove "RE:", do not move "RE:" to the right (?),...
