In this case, reportbug should probably just ask people to e-mail
[email protected] details instead of sending a bug report.

These aren't really necessary.

These should be X-Debbugs-Cc:.

The BTS will catch these, but accepting messages to a bug would also be
allowable.

If it's not talking directly to the BTS, I basically don't want to
support it in the BTS.

I suspect that allowing the destination to be given as
destination=(nnnnn|submit|control) with a default to submit would be
sufficient.

I'm also concerned about allowing through bugs/messages which do not
correspond to a working e-mail address... so it's possible that I will
implement the CGI with some sort of cache coupled with a response.
