 The bug-followup address is an alias for freebsd-gnats-submit.  It doesn't
 really matter which one you use.

 I prefer the first one, since bug-followup@ is more friendly to us human
 earthlings than some obscure gnats-dependent alias.  The bug-followup address
 is easier to remember, because it matches the functionality of the alias
 (followup/reply to a bug report).
