I don't think such a change would involve changes to gnus-bug.  Have you
read the "Using the GNU Bug Tracker" page that Glenn Morris wrote?

  http://debbugs.gnu.org/Using.html

As explained there, the usual way to use the Emacs bug tracker is for it
to take over address@hidden

One problem, though, is that up to now we've only ever set up the bug
tracker for @gnu.org mailing lists.  ISTR that the list traffic is
redirected to debbugs.gnu.org simply via a rule in the FSF mail server,
which might not work for handling a non-gnu.org list.  Glenn, do you
recall the details?
