Let's take bug #711404 as an example:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=711404

Here the bug log currently shows four messages.  However, when running
`reportbug -u text -N 711404`, you'll be shown 12 messages. The last 8
messages are all spam, and debbugs knows about this, otherwise
bugreport.cgi would show them as well.

It would be great if the get_bug_log() SOAP query learned to ignore spam
messages.
