I think this would be possible, but not really what I want. Sure, a mail
filter could move certain reports to /dev/null, but I could do that even
now for all reports for older versions. What I want is to not even get
those reports anymore.
Besides that, such a hash from the stacktrace wouldn't be really useful:
the stacktraces are just too different from machine to machine even for
the 'same' crash that they won't be of much use.
