Almost.  More accurately I mean that it looks like you intended to share 
some information with the package maintainers of a bunch of packages - 
if that's the case then please consider using a tool like dd-list to 
better reach those developers (i.e. don't assume they follow this list).

Your use of quotes in your follow-up email seems to indicate that you 
are referring to some documentation somewhere, perhaps one on best 
practice when doing a mas bug-filing.  I do not imply that you are 
necessarily doing a mass bug-filing so do not dictate you to use a 
specific procedure - I simply want to make you aware of tools that might 
be helpful for you in whatever it is you are trying to do here. :-)
