Personally, I most definitely want that. I keep all such e-mails, and I have
e-mail filters which put them in the correct folders. No manual processing
is required, and I have all of those e-mails to search through when I need
to. I can totally understand that it's annoying to have to manually go
through hundreds of e-mails, but e-mail programs provide tools for dealing
with that sort of thing, and it's not exactly new that bugzilla e-mails
about any comments or changes to bug reports that you're subscribed to. It's
just that on this particular occasion, a whole bunch of issues got commented
on at once because of the migration. Either way, it's a one time thing (or I
guess, a two time thing, since the dmd/druntime issue still need to be
moved), and that's the end of it.

For me at least, the annoying part about the messages is that I now have to
rework my filters to deal with github sending me e-mails about issues for
these repos, and I need to separate those out from e-mails about PRs,
whereas before, I could just put all of the e-mails for each repo in a
folder for that repo and mostly be able to rely on them all being PR-related
e-mails. But that's just life when we change the service we're using for bug
reports.
