Hijacking this thread just to rename the subject so people can set up
e-mail filters if they want.
Subject nomenclature is *[Tor www-team][sub-team][issue] *where sub-team is
one of: UI, Graphic Design, Tech-writer, Translator, Graphic-design,
 Front-end, Back-end, Tester
(accessibility would touch UI, graphic design and front-end)
