"Submitted Bug Link rejected" notification is kinda useless

Here is my problem :

as you can see this automatically generated notification is useless,
it tells me that one of Bug Links has been deleted, but doesnt tell me
which one, and why :(
This is bad for people that submit bug links.
Now the other end of the equation - Im the maintainer of uTorrent on
appdb and had to delete a bug link. Someone submitted a link to a
weird bug, there was no mention about utorrent in that bug and I
couldnt reproduce it. My actions should be
-ask submitter about more details
-delete link filling the REASON field with question to submitter about
more details

but there is no "submitter" field in "Known bugs" list, there is also
no "reason" field when I delete bugs.

In that particular case I digged up the email from AppDB with info
"Link between Bug xxxx and utorrent 1.7 submitted by blabla"
and googled for the blabla person, fortunately I was able to find his
email and write him a message, but it would be far more user friendly
and productive to be able to just do that from the appdb admin form
(mail/message bug submitters/ state reason for deletion)

In this particular case, you got the bug link rejection notice because I
deleted eMule version .46c entirely.  That's a weird message to send out
regardless.

Both of thiese issues should be fixed soon.  Don't hesitate to drop a note 
when there's something annoying or wrong with the AppDB!
