Build Identifier: Bugzilla 3.0

The bugzilla_email_append.pl script from versions <3.0 was patchable to handle multiple bugs in one mail (see http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~stevem/software/cvs-bugzilla/#bugzilla_email_append). email_in.pl should be able to do this as well. This can be used for SVN/CVS-Integration scripts where one commit should add information to multiple bugs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Feed a mail with the subject "[Bug 1 2]" to email_in.pl

Actual Results:  
email_in.pl tries to create a new bug

Expected Results:  
email_in.pl should attach the information from the mail to all the bugs mentiones in the subject, in this example to Bug 1 and Bug 2.
Component: Bugzilla-General → Incoming Email
Not sure we should use the [Bug 1 2] format, maybe rather:

@bug_id 1
@bla
...

This is a comment for bug 1

@bug_id 2
@blabla
...

This is a comment for bug 2


I think this would be more flexible.
Severity: normal → enhancement
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Version: unspecified → 3.0
Priority: -- → P5
