The problem with this specific From-rewriting is that it breaks replying
to the sender instead of just the bug (though maybe that's not a huge
deal).

Ideally we'd be able to oversign the messages, but DMARC and DKIM
weren't engineered to allow that. I've personally been ignoring it
because I've been hoping that the standards would get fixed, but if it's
impacting enough Debian contributors to matter, I don't mind accepting a
patch.

It was said that life was cheap in Ankh-Morpork. This was, of course,
completely wrong. Life was often very expensive; you could get death
for free.
