Yes, I was expecting that kind of regression, see
https://lists.debian.org/[email protected]

So the 3 copies are actually:
- one sent to [email protected] (which forwards to
  [email protected])
- one sent to [email protected] to generate the news
  on the old tracker, I disabled the forwarding of this one
  to the new tracker.
- one sent to [email protected]

So it means that subscribers to the PTS actually got two copies of such
mails... under two different keywords.

We should fix this now.

Dear, debian-release can you drop the Bcc to
<package>[email protected] on mails emitted by Debian
Testing watch ?

This change is fine:
- subscribers to the old PTS still get a copy via the "contact" keyword
- subscribers to the new PTS get a copy via the summary keyword because
  the new PTS does its own classification and recognizes the mails it gets
- anyway, I'll soon move subscriptions from the old PTS to the new one

Once this is fixed I'll try to clean up the duplicate news entries.

Cheers,
