Cool, thanks for sharing!  I don't use Notmuch but I'm sure they'll come
in help to someone!

This comes stock with Gnus (used by Emacs-Debbugs); I just enter 'S W'
(capitalized S followed by capitalized W) to send a wide reply (wide
replies to keep the bug in CC as well as all participants subscribed).
To reply privately to a single participant you could use just the 'R'
Gnus binding.
