with the very same logic you could close bugs filed against
ftp.debian.org about changing overrides or removing packages from the
archive.
you can fix it by not processing the mails affecting some packages, so
it's appropriate to file against bugs.debian.org.

sorry, no. A bug tracking system doesn't track responsibilities, but
problems. That is a problem with the information in the BTS. It
doesn't matter if the changes can be done by the BTS admins or others.
Or would you suggest a severity grave because of data loss/corruption?
Please don't suggest that it's still possible to track down these
changes following each control mail.
