Many thanks for working on this.

Apologies for repeating myself, but as I said off-list the
configuration seems to be a little different from the old server.

Severities "important" and "serious" are not understood at all, eg:

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=4953

and severity minor shows up as "unknown severity":

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?newest=100;package=emacs
  see 4920, 4927

We probably don't need so many severity levels, but they have been
used.

In the individual bug web-pages, eg

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=4951

"useless messages" seem to be on by default rather than off.


The package "emacs" is not defined, which is probably not important,
but again represents a difference from the old server.

I got a slightly lengthy message in response to a test control message.
The parts about "fixed" and "found" don't make sense to me.
