 I couldn't find anything that uses those functions legitimately, only 
 get_pr_path did, and only if a PR was already determined to be nonexistent!

 I think the problem is that you have gnats-prs and bug-gnats connected.
 I can think of 2 solutions:
 
 1. Don't make bug-gnats messages trigger gnats submits. Instead make it a 
 plain mailing list for bug discussions.
 
 2. Consolidate bug-gnats and gnats-prs. For instance get rid of gnats-prs
 and make the messages shown in bug-gnats be whatever the gnats-prs 
 contains now (ie only have subjects in the category/number format)
