 The bugs make it to the BTS, just not to the mailing list.

 Bug reports arrive to the mailing list with a From: field set to the
 submitter's email, which is exactly as it should be.

 I stupidly didn't think of this when I created the mailing list and
 since SPAM on Debian mailing lists is so bad I set it to
 subscriber-only which is causing this problem.

 To further complicate matters I can't find the administrative password
 for the mailing list, a situation which Mailman handles in the worst
 possible way.

 Sorry about the trouble, as soon as I get the password resetted I'll
 remove the problematic setting (with the visible consequence of more
 spam making its way here)
