I think it might make sense for the bug reports, but I think that (in
general) there's no point in doing any conversion of anything.  I mean,
the mail will be encoded with a proper transfer encoding when sending,
won't it?

Unless one of the sending methods used by emacsbugs doesn't encode
anything.
