I disagree that the current approach is optimal. Bugzilla is a
bug-tracker and is not meant to be used for reviews. I believe in
using the right tool for the right job. An e-mail should be concise
and to the point, in this case only contain the discussion. This will
help it to reach a wider audience and be more useful when people
stumble upon it through a google search.
