This would be easier than trying to figure out the correct mail rules to
take over address@hidden, indeed.
The disadvantage is that the Gnus project will get a mix of tracked and
untracked bugs, since many existing users would still report bugs to the
"unmanaged" address@hidden

The VM was originally provided to us as a bug tracker for Emacs, not as
a GNU bug server; so as far as I'm concerned we have a broad mandate for
using it to manage Emacs-related bugs. We can give the FSF a heads-up,
but frankly I don't see this issue being a problem.
