There was some discussion about it on IRC, and somebody pointed out that
toughguy.net is an e-mail forwarding service. If that's the case, then
it's possible to point the forwarder at yourself, subscribe to a few
mailing lists, and then maliciously alter the forwarding address.
It's not clear what can be done about this at Debian's end other than to
encourage people to post full headers whenever anything goes wrong.
