Back in March through May an even larger splurge happened on -wireless 
by an enthusiastic new contributor submitting, as asked, multitudinous 
smaller patches to iwn(4).  At that time I just made two new folders, 
bugzwireless and bugznet, and periodically - like the other day - move 
all messages From bugzilla and To -wireless (or -net) to those folders.

No sweat really, even manually; my inbox is far more manageable, and I 
can more readily surf through these surely welcome heroic efforts :)

Not only a lurker, but a largely useless one ..

cheers, Ian
