AFAIK the bug-tracker will only know into which discussion to place
a reply if the reply is to a message that comes *from* the bugtracker,
rather than merely being a reply to a message that the bugtracker has
also received (i.e. I don't think debbugs will track Message-Ids in
order to classify incoming replies).

So people would/will need to subscribe to
address@hidden and discuss things there, instead of
discussing them on bug-gnu-emacs.
