I'm not sure that that's the right thing to do, but I can see pluses
and minuses.
It is a possibility to treat forwarded like I treat tags, found, and
fixed versions, and merge the set of forwarded set on the bug.
However, it's possible that someone has a case where this would be the
incorrect thing to do; we already split url-like things on ', ', so
that wouldn't be bad, though there is a problem with e-mail
addresses.
Does anyone have any comments?
That said, forcemerge handles this all properly if you know that one
bug is set properly, and another should be merged.
