I'm not sure whether this is "the" reason why it's implemented this way.
However, if you mail to the BTS, you already get a mail saying "Thank you
for the information you provided on bug #xxxxxx" and so on. If every mail
to xxxxxx@bugs.debian.org gets Cc'd to the submitter, you'd get two of
mails every time you send something to a bug you submitted, which is quite
annoying -- especially since they both don't provide new information.
