Now, the case of Boris is the reviewer is different from the case boris is
just cc'd to the bug.  However sending the mail is only useful if Boris
chooses to do something with  it other than delete it unread.  Which it
sounds like he may well want to, and even if I wanted to do differently
I can easily see doing the same because there is something more
important at the moment.

Well, if you want it to be more than that you need to somehow force
people to look at things and think about them, which is rather hard.
