Technically we already have this for threads started in the form these
days, as you can trivially get the bug number out of the message-id, and
the message-id is one of the fields that *is* typically preserved (in the
References header).
It won't cover threads that are responded to by creating a whole new thread
and referencing the bug in the free text part of it, but there's really no
way to handle that form inside the email...
