#709175 rethink stripping of [] as both current options are broken; maybe just be smarter about adding bug number?

Hi Don,

this commit [1] does not work for the way debbugs is normally used.
I'd say the more common case is this:

   user -> debbugs -> mailing-list -> user(s)

This was my original idea when stripping off the [mailing-list-name]
in the Subject: field [2] when internally processing bug posts.

The follow-up patch [1] that you committed later presumes this mail
posting path:

   user -> mailing list -> debbugs -> somewhere...

Which seems much more rare to me.

So my suggestion is: revert commit c05083e [1].

Greets+Thanks,
Mike
