We pound into user's heads that they should send all bugs to "bugs"
using sendbug.  It's not obvious that you send to bug-games.  If so,
why don't I send to bug-zephyr, bug-moira, etc?  Because "that's the
way it is."  We get the same thing with bugs about sipb software.
That's a slightly different case since the person who answers bugs
(jik) is also the person who fixes most sipb bugs, so the mail ends up
in the right person's inbox, even if it's not sent to the right place.

I don't see an obvious solution to this, but it seems that the best
thing for bugs to do is just forward the messages about games to
bug-games and forget about them.  You'll never educate all the users
on this one, I'm afraid.  Does anybody have any better ideas?
