Well, if you don't try, you're 100% sure to not get an answer, so I
don't see how not mailing them helps :) -- and owner@ probably would've
forwarded if they'd not have found it themselves. You could know the
difference because DSA does email (it requires root), and the BTS
people do the stuff once it leaves the MTA.

Nope, it's just relatively common for people to know it a bit, but yeah,
you can just mail DSA or so instead if you can't -- or try still try to
debug using your normal mail program (perhaps from different
hosts/accounts/etc).
