The problem with doing this, is it means that all messages need to be
parsed, and to be correct, all messages then need to generate a
transcript message which should be sent back to the user sending the
mail.
If you want this as the default for you, it wouldn't be too difficult
to set up hooks in most MTAs to notice that you're mailing
\d+@bugs.debian.org and have it automatically Bcc: control. You'd just
get an extra mail until it went five lines wihtout a command, but I
suppose that's what is expected.
