In that particular case, the mail to interested parties link, it seems the
maintainers may eventually have agreed, since that particular case works
and isn't marked as GCC LOCAL. The problem is just the PR status change
messages. (PR status changes used to appear twice in the PR logs, once in
the audit trail entry and once when the status change message got to
gcc-gnats and was logged itself, but that was just a minor issue, whereas
replies to those messages not getting filed in GNATS is a serious
problem.)
(I agree with the point made in that thread that it should be the
responsibility of GNATS to generate these mails and audit trail logs, not
gnatsweb - is this going to be fixed in GNATS 4? This would avoid any
such non-obvious cause for such a change as this one - which I hadn't
expected to be a gnatsweb problem since I'd supposed that GNATS did deal
with these messages itself.)

Yes, I had a look, and it should work.

Please do so.

And if it does indeed fix the problem, Joseph, would you mind submitting
this patch to gnats-devel@sources.redhat.com as well?
It is only relevant for the gnatsweb 2.9x-branch, as gnatsweb 4.0 has
changed quite a bit in this respect AFAICS.
