First of all you try to get the tracking of all bugs into Bugzilla, and 
now you've sent a batch of emails where the answers will not get into 
Bugzilla automatically.

As an example, for the bug we are talking about the main value of you 
asking me in Bugzilla was not that I confirmed it's still present, the 
main value was that this caused Mauro to make a fix. What would have 
happened if Toralf had answered in an email that the bug is still 
present?

And especially for trickier stuff like suspend/resume problems it might 
also make sense to send the email to all people who might possibly be 
involved with the bug - even if this means putting all email addresses 
from 5 MAINTAINERS entries into one email. It takes a bit more time when 
writing the emails, but my experience was it's worth it.
