Dup-dups of bug-bugs?
Is anyone else on the bugdb list getting two copies of everything?
Or is it just me? I'm also getting two cron logs per day instead of
one; is the old Taz still alive somewhere?

Double messages are being sent because the bugdb.cgi script and the way the
gnats administrative configuration files are set up need to be re-examined.
I don't have time for it right now, but I'm guessing it has to do with the
# of times, and where, "apache-bugdb" is mentioned in
~gnats/gnats-adm/responsible, config, categories, or submitters. If
someone wants to look at that & give an opinion I'd appreciate it.

It's a deliberate design decision, and once you walk through the reasoning
for it, it makes a lot of sense.
Qmail rawks, period.

I ran qmail from my home machine for a week or so. Spammed too many people
with duplicate mail so had to ditch it.
.. and that was before I had tabs set to 4 columns.

It's a feature to some rather than a drawback. Only the MUA has all the
information needed to eliminate duplicates. You're just used to sendmail
pulling the wool over your eyes now and then... :)

I'm also getting dupes of all apache-bugdb posts... but as far as I
know I'm only subscribed with one address!?

Brian said he'd fully switched to qmail. Qmail's biggest drawback is
that it puts messages into individual envelopes and doesn't consolidate
mail heading for the same person or mailserver into one delivery.
So, if the mail is sent to multiple addresses and you are listed
as a recipient of >1 of those addresses then you'll get multiple
copies.
It might be unrelated to your observation, but it is a known
drawback of qmail.
