My thought about putting it into the BBDB (with a flag) is that there is
something that can be displayed, and it's easier to "configure", while the
ignore-message-alist is easy to forget about, or find.

And if one synchronizes your BBDB elsewhere (such as to my laptop via
git...), then it moves stuff there.
I had code that increments a counter every time I saw something from a
source.
