(subject changed and cc's trimmed)

Hmm... yes, this is a problem.  Businesspeople definitely care about
these things.

Is there a NYC BUG?  Perhaps you might ask for some sort of mail
forwarder from freebsd.org for, say, nycbug@freebsd.org.  Minimizes
system load and administrator load at freebsd.org, and it's not
focused on any one person.

After all, the committers need *some* sort of perks.  ;)
