Perhaps it's the fact that I don't have any packages at the moment... 
but I receive ALL bugzilla list email. Regardless of whether or not I 
have any interest in it.
This is what I meant in my earlier email... people are drowning in bz 
spam from bugs that aren't even theirs. Perhaps filtering most, if not 
all of that at the BZ list itself is the best way to solve this. I 
realize some people have so many packages and/or a few high traffic 
packages to begin with... but it's a start.
