It is not so. Each ticket in bugtracker is a separate mail thread. The
problem comes from mail archive on marc.info which I used as reports
archive - each mail is a separate thread. I believe it is due to broken
In-Reply-To field. Each ticket contains a link to the appropriate mail
thread and you can check it yourself with links below.

Setup another bugtracker which you like, connect it to bugs@ and send a
link to this thread.
