That particular example is pretty interesting. Deciding what to do automatically is pretty difficult, so I definitely agree that an "Opt Out" button would be desirable.

The problem in that particular example is that a bug was filed against bzr; someone thought it was perhaps a bug that was in Twisted, but it actually wasn't. Once it was determined that it wasn't, the Twisted developers don't care at all about it. So we should have a way to say "no, really, this isn't about Twisted; don't send *any* Twisted developers email about it unless someone explicitly wants to posit that it's really related to Twisted again". The reason it needs to be worded in that way is that, obviously, if it's a bug filed against *only* Twisted and the Twisted developers decide it's an invalid bug, someone should be able to comment on that definitely-Twisted-related bug and have their comment sent to the developers.
