Description Markus Keller

In bug 178808, it sounded like someone external to Eclipse set up the bugbot@landfill.bugzilla.org account.

Since landfill.bugzilla.org has been shut down (<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1494805>), I figured the bugbot mails are all sent in vain now, so I filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1503041 to get it removed.

I don't see why such a bot that follows a random group of users would be useful, so I would suggest to delete it.

Good point.  I've deleted the account.
