Thanks a lot, but I'm not sure I fully understand the consequences and
whether this corresponds to what was suggested in this thread.  (And I
don't want to waste your time.)

I don't want debbug to become the central place for tracking Org bugs.
It is a secondary place for tracking a subset of Emacs bugs for those
who use M-x report-emacs-bugs -- mostly users who use the Org version
that comes bundled with Emacs.

The preferred way for submitting Org bugs is org-submit-bug-report and
confirmed bugs are tracked on https://updates.orgmode.org.

What I'm strongly supporting is

1) A way to get debbugs bugs autotagged with "org-mode" when
   report-emacs-bug detects (perhaps by asking interactively), that
   the user wants to report a bug about org-mode.

2) A way to have all debbug bugs tagged as "org-mode" forwarded to the
   emacs-orgmode@gnu.org mailing list.

If your change does not imply that debbug becomes the central place
for tracking Org bugs while solving (2), I'm fine.

Thanks!
