        FTR, – the Message-Id:s are broken not just for
        news:gnu.emacs.bug alone, – news:gnu.emacs.help shows exactly
        the same issue (see, e. g., the example I’ve posted earlier
        [1]), and presumably the same applies all across the gnu.emacs.*
        groups (or perhaps even all the gnu.* ones.)

        Naturally, the gmane.emacs.* groups do /not/ exhibit this issue,
        so it’s certainly not something inherently impossible to fix.

        If the issue with news:gnu.emacs.bug is specifically its
        (lack of) integration with the BTS, – it should still be
        possible to deduce the bug report to add the incoming articles
        to (or the address to forward to) based on either References:,
        In-Reply-To:, or (perhaps preferably) the Subject: field.

        (The latter is, incidentally, how some other bug trackers –
        like, say, RT – behave.)
