And then what? Encourage the user not to add a comment unless they have
new information? If that is the proposal, I am in favor.
Adding the user to CC is still correct. Other users are responsible for
disabling the "email me when someone else is added/removed to CC"
preference if they so desire.

I don't understand this part. The noise I've seen consists of
abrt-added "me-too" comments with steps to reproduce. I have never seen
someone repost the same workaround in response to such a comment.
