This patch adds some additional text to the needinfo to ask the developer to close the bug as WONTFIX if it's appropriate, and provides some documentation to help them with this decision.
At the same time, a backlog-deferred keyword check is added to prevent bugbot from making needinfo's on bugs who have this set. It signifies that the regression is valid, needs to be fixed or better understood, but won't be immediately fixed. It's not mentioned in the needinfo comment since it should be used sparingly, and in cases where this keyword is set, a follow-up bug can usually be made to look into the issue while resolving the alert as a WONTFIX.
Furthermore, locally, private regressors cause failures so the retrieval of the regressor email is changed to use a get instead.
