A couple of additional considerations:

If you are really worrying concerning spam, you may add rel="nofollow" 
to each hyperlink found in user messages. It is an upstream issue
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1009036
but it seems Debian administrators can deal better with spam, e.g. mail 
lists are not premoderated and allow post from non-subscribed users. So 
this issue may have higher priority for debbugs.gnu.org than for upstream.

Just as for the debian server, default file name to open a particular 
message though "mbox" link has .mbox suffix, not ".eml" one. As a result 
there is a problem to open such file in thunderbird.

For bugs.debian.org it is mostly a cosmetic problem since they have 
"reply" links. For the debbugs.gnu.org it is noticeable inconvenience 
for users.
