Quoting https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting#pseudoheader <quote> Control Commands Control: control commands Allows for any of the commands which must be sent to cont...@bugs.debian.org to work when sent to sub...@bugs.debian.org or n...@bugs.debian.org. -1 initially refers to the current bug (that is, the bug created by a mail to submit@ or the bug messaged with nnn@). </quote> I'm closing this bug as the requested feature already exists.
