Interesting idea.  Done.

The dupe thing would be a bit trickier to implement and doesn't seem
like it would help since only the final bug comment would switch
threads.  Maybe you could generate another email with all of the
comments to the bug that was duplicated, but someone else will have to
do that work...

Yeah, the dupe thing after an initial blurt on the idea, dupe stuff 
didn't sound like such a good idea.  However, the threading thing on a 
given ticket is probably something which would be appreciated upstream 
if it proves to actually work.

Hm, cool.  I actually found some bug with a patch about this [1] on the 
Bugzilla Bugzilla.
