No: the Debian BTS is mail-centric and one fundamental thing is to be
able for a bug triager to contact the bug submitter; if you provide a
fake email that comm channel is broken, and will generate a lot of
problem. So if you want to interact with Debian and its BTS you should
use a real email address, and it will be public for anyone to see. if
you don't like that, sorry, but the BTS is not what you're looking
for.

I'm in no position to fulfill your request, but I guess no-one will
remove any message: what's done it's done.
