BTW didn't Steve Lamb <morpheus@rpglink.com> want to take that, too?

BTW You can reach every submitter with <number>-submitter@bugs.debian.org,
and they get logged to the bug log, but not sent to anyone else
(not even the maintainer).
I'd say, if you're writing a short message like "Can you still reproduce
this?", then don't send it to any BTS-related address but privately.
If you find some interesting information in your conversation with
the submitter, then feel free to CC: or send it separately to
<number>@bugs.debian.org .
