I retargeted this question to answers because I believe we are looking at a silly implementation issue in answers, not a code issue in bugs or foundations.

The method to create the question is creating new messages for each message on the bug. This could be 20 messages. Does an answer contact want to read all 20 messages? Can the person make sense of this since the issue first messages imply a bug? The process could copy just the first and last messages, or create a single message with the entire conversation. Do we really need to create separate messages--if I were writing this today (I wrote this code), I would try to make BugMessage and QuestionMessage share the same IMessage.

Each message is generating a list of subscribers. Surely the subscribers are the same for all messages.
