Any e-mail sent to XYZ@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com (where XYZ is the
bug number) will be CC-ed to bug-gnu-emacs automatically.  This is
what Stefan did.

Stefan could have sent this e-mail privately, but then it would not be
recorded as part of the bug report's log, which would be bad.

It is good that e-mail sent to XYZ@emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com is CC-ed
to bug-gnu-emacs automatically.  Simply turning this off would be bad.

There is no simple solution, although there may be a complicated one.
