It seems easy enough.  It looks like just need to add 

        (save-excursion
          (or (mail-position-on-field "X-Debbugs-Package")
              (insert "cc-mode")))

To the lambda you are already passing as the last argument you pass to
`reporter-submit-bug-report' in `c-submit-bug-report'.
