That is not true.

Say the subject of the PR is:

	port-i386/3570: /usr/local/bin/ispcvt

if you reply to that mail, cc'ding gnats-bugs@netbsd.org, with a
subject of:

	Re: port-i386/3570: /usr/local/bin/ispcvt

your reply will be appended to the PR.

I'm not sure that you need to have quite that much info in the subject
line, but that's what I typically use.  (apologies to the author of
that PR; i just happened to find it my mailbox, and so used it.  8-)
