Actually, CCing the bug reporter is not enough. You have to manually set
the Reply-To: field to nnnnnn@bugs.d.o, since otherwise, the user’s
reply will go to yourself, not to the BTS.

Automatically subscribing him would mostly fix that issue as well, since
the BTS can add a Reply-To: header as needed.

[Note that some mailers don’t even implement Reply-To: correctly, which
is why tracking systems that do it right (like roundup) reforge the
From: header instead.]
