OK, are we only talking about the test period here? Long term, I think 
we should arrange for the emacs-bug and emacs-pretest-bug aliases to 
feed into the bug tracker only, and all messages to subscribers should 
be sent by the bugtracker with whatever identifying information it needs 
added to the subject line. This will probably take some setting up to 
get right though, so I can understand not wanting to deal with it now 
before we've decided that debbugs meets our needs.
