Re: Mail that shuld not be sent here

    That turns out not to be true.  (1) Maintainers are always interested
    in the status of all bugs.

That is two people.  They can check this status thru the web interface
when they wish, or subscribe to the new mailing list.

      (2) People who are not really paying
    attention to thread because they have a workaround will occasionally
    wake up and say "don't close that, you didn't fix/broke my use case."

They could just as easily do this when they see someone say he
installed a fix.
