So I had been replying via email to the bugzilla-daemon, for *months*, and thinking that it would just update bugzilla. It does *not*. So

1. sorry for my apparent silence on the 8 bugs affected, 56030, 42259, 58416, 58633, 59846, 58450, 60095, 58208

2. keep this in mind in case you, too, are tempted to talk to soul-less uncompassionate machines
