[Libreoffice] Misrouted bugs.Freedesktop.org report

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

When you BCC: an entire list of developers and others via resend, without any explanation at all, how are recipients to know what your purpose is and determine whether it is relevant for them?

In my in-box the mails shows as being from bugzilla-demon@ freedesktop.org and I had no reason to examine the headers (which I normally do only when investigating whether a message is spam or a phishing attack).  The resend information is buried in the long list of transits that the message made.

You are subscribed to libreoffice at lists.freedesktop.org, and I BCCed
this report to that ML. I did that because I'm soliciting opinions on
how to proceed.
