Message #1 received at quiet <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):

From: Glenn Morris <rgm <at> gnu.org>
To: quiet <at> debbugs.gnu.org
Subject: suppress duplicate emails
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:40:05 -0500

Package: debbugs.gnu.org

See bug #897 and friends.

If someone sends a mail to both "123 <at> debbugs" and "bug-gnu-emacs" (or
"emacs-pretest-bug" or "submit <at> debbugs"), debbugs should detect this,
and not enter the subsequent mail in the database twice, nor send it
out twice to the bug list.

Message-id tracking might be the "right" way to do this.

A simpler way might be header checks, discarding the mail sent to the
generic address if a bugref address is also present. This assumes both
mails will arrive, which could be risky.
