debbugs.gnu.org is not only for Emacs. See
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/db/ix/packages.html> which other projects are
hosted there. "gnus" is a prominent example for a subpackage of Emacs
with an own bug package using debbugs.gnu.org.

An alternative approach is tagging bugs of a project with your package
name. See existing user tags of project emacs at
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgindex.cgi?indexon=usertag;user=emacs>. "cedet"
uses this mechanism already.

And shame on me, Tramp doesn't use debbugs.gnu.org (yet).
