I like it, especially when a package doesn't have a lot of bugs :-). Well, I guess if I send you code that implements this, and switches it off by default, you would probably incorporate it. But I won't, both because I don't know Emacs Lisp well, and because I don't think it's sooo important. > What I could do is add a "followup on" entry in the Bugs menubar.

I wouldn't make it mandatory: If I follow up on an old bug that apparently has been submitted by a hit-and-run user of the package, or otherwise clueless person, I usually save me the "Mail deliver failed: No such user" mails...
