I have no objections to this proposal, but I'd like for people to
spitball methods by which we might accomplish my goal:  I'd like
replies to a ML post to be included in the bug page.  Does the existing
mailing list software handle In-Reply-To or References headers?  Can we
leverage that to do grouping?  One mbox/mdir per bug would be optimal.
