How hard would it be to set up a bot that will subscribe to python-dev
and archive messages that have [issueXXXX] in the subject under
appropriate roundup ticket?  This way if discussion started on
roundup, it would only take adding python-dev in CC to bring it to the
larger python-dev audience and adding issue number to the python-dev
thread subject will be all it takes to archive new messages on
roundup.  This would not solve a problem of linking threads that start
on python-dev before a ticket is opened, but with some proper
conventions this problem can be solved as well.
