I am not happy with that. MailMail will archive all the junk generated
by bugzilla (I've archived all the 315642 emails (Wed Mar 31 23:15:23
MEST 2004) I got from bugzilla-deamon at mozilla.org since Sun, 31 Jan 1999
10:28:36 -0800 (PST) ... that are just ~~420MB of emails... and a
mailinglist archive for bugzilla emails will grow likely to a similar
size after some time) and we get another more-or-less-useless
mailinglist. The BugZilla people invented the "watcher"-mechanism for
that...

... what about creating an sendmail alias
"stsf-bugs-noreply at freedesktop.org" which sends the emails straight to
/dev/null (or find someone who can edit the bugzilla user database to
create "stsf-bugs at freedesktop" (note the missing ".org")) ?
