The original text I proposed was much more simple than what Jonathan's
patch has. I had thought a simple "I understand that this report will
be emailed to a public mailing list" would have been ok. If the user
was surprised by that, then they could go back and read the text we
expect them to have ready already to find out the details.

Perhaps the more verbose wording for the checkbox makes the original
warning partially redundant, but my vote would be to simplify the
checkbox text to something more like what I originally proposed rather
than remove the mention of it from the top.
