Well, this has nothing at all (really) with tracker.d.o, nor with the QA
team alas.

FTR, looking at #908065 I can read:

|Report forwarded to debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org, debian-ci@lists.debian.org, Debian Med Packaging Team <debian-med-packaging@lists.alioth.debian.org>:
|Bug#908065; Package src:r-cran-adegraphics. (Wed, 05 Sep 2018 18:42:04 GMT)

no idea why, given that the page header mentions the r-pkg-team@ alioth
address.

I suggest you ask owner@bugs.debian.org and/or file a bug against the
bugs.debian.org pseudo-package, as that's where the bugs.d.o maintainer
answer.
