Which kind of makes sense btw, because debbugs is a bugtracker, I don't think
its developers supposed that it will be used as a replacement to a mailing list
for patch submissions. To track patches the old-fashioned way people usually
combine a mailing list with `patchwork` interface. Linux-kernel are doing that
for a long time. Freedesktop were doing that too. These days projects are
typically just using git forges.
