Ian Jackson, on using virtual mail addresses for bug reports:

> * server: used to manipulate bug reports.  Commands will be:

It's cleaner to use <nnnn>-control@bugs.debian.org, which would interpret
commands for bug report nnnn. 

	reopen				  reopen bug report nnnn.
    merge <k> ...         merge one or more reports into nnnn.
 +  close                 close a bug report, sending a copy of
                          the request to the original submitter.
    forwarded             mark a report as forwarded
    notforwarded          cancel the `forwarded' mark
 +  send                  send a copy of the log for <nnnn>
    stop                  }
    --                    } stop processing the message here
 +  quit                  }
    help                  send help text
