Now encountered [1] my first such case since this thread, and not sure
I agree to automatically add people. Some people might not want that
at all, some would prefer to have control over their name, some might
prefer an email address different from the one used for posting or no
email address at all.

I usually ask people to open a bug or comment on an existing bug.
Isn't that enough? Are git logs so much more important than bugzilla
history?

Another option I can think of is:

Report-Url: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2015-November/035947.html

Adding Christian, the reporter of [1]. Christian, feel free to ignore
current thread, and/or voice up your opinion, and/or say if you want
to appear as "Reported-By:" in the git commit message [2]. Thanks :-)
