    Would it be possible to limit the bug tracker to mailing list
    subscribers?

No, that is self-defeating.  We need to encourage bug reports, not
put barriers in their way.

With all the meaningless messages that the bug tracker sends
to this list, it take a very strong interest in Emacs to convince
someone to be on this list.  Why haven't those messages
been diverted to another list?
