   Hm.  Then I think it should be closed when bugzilla is operational
   with a bounce telling people to use bugzilla instead, and the
   mailing list archives should be filtered using spamassasin to
   extract the valid bug reports.

I don't think this is a good idea, I personally prefer to reports bugs
via email.  And I am quite sure that many prefer the same means.  Also
reacall that most (if not all) GNU projects have a bug-* list; making
glibc standout seems like a bad idea to me...

Cheers
