Bug Description

As proposed at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2008-January/003132.html, it would be great if those useless comments in the motu-reviewers mailing list were removed, as they make the subject too long, avoiding sometimes to see which package has been uploaded/commented/updated.

To fix this, we need 2 things:
 - This patch.
 - Change the ML settings to remove the [Motu-reviewers] prefix.

Thanks.

with your patch filtering of those becomes less reliable, and people would have to adjust their filters.

Stefan, do you think we need to care about those?

That's what my mail was about, telling people their filters would break if they
were using the Subject, and telling them they could use X-BeenThere and
Mail-Id... to filter.

Hi Reinhard,

(btw.: applied to trunk yesterday, not yet in production, since I'm fighting
with bzr again :/)

Since the motu-reviewers list already has appropriate list-headers, and noone
objected on the motu mailing list to this change, I think we can safely drop
these.

Cheers,
