My question is more about giving those individuals the option to decide where future bug reports go, and "cleaning-up" defunct addresses (if any). I would also think that such "Cc:" functionality should be a part of the centralized bug managing system, and not the bug reporting mechanism in GNU/Emacs. I thought that the general direction being taken now is to let the bug management system send out any appropriate additional copies of the report like: bug report --> bug management system --> specific maintainer (if any) -- "Cut your own wood and it will warm you twice"
