Ah, I was unclear- I meant to the cc: line, yes. I think that if
anything, it is the reverse- a 'newbie' bug person should cc: themselves
so that (1) they can hear praise if they've done the right thing (2)
they can learn if they make a mistake and someone corrects them and (3)
they can trivially follow up if they've asked someone for
information/clarification and that person responds.

That's my thinking, at any rate.
