That's one thing. And it's super annoying since the bugzilla e-mails try to 
provide a diff, but the result is for longer package lists unreadable and not 
helpful. 

Also, in some cases, additionally keywords were added and removed from the 
list without any further comment. Taking this possibility into account, one 
would have to check any BZ mail with a lot of attention. 

The much better alternative would be 
* Don't do any cosmetic changes. They are pointless for a bot-evaluated field.
* If you need additional keywords or want to drop something, leave one 
sentence on the bug with request and reason, and let maintainers sort out the 
package list field...
