Hmm, the documentation is inconsistent. The info manual of Emacs'
debbugs package says in "(debbugs-ug) Control Messages"

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
'usertag'
     "user USERNAME"
     "usertag 12345 TAG"

     The username, read interactively, is either a package name or an
     email address.  The tag to be set is also read interactively.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

OTOH, the mail server doc <https://debbugs.gnu.org/server-request.html> says

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
user email
    Set the user to the given email address. The default user is the
    email address set in your mail client's From: or Reply-To:
    field. You should not use other people's email addresses without
    permission.

usertag bugnumber [ + | - | = ] tag [ tag ... ]
    Sets usertags for the bug report #bugnumber. No notification is sent
    to the user who reported the bug, nor to the package
    maintainer. Setting the action to + means to add each given tag, -
    means to remove each given tag, and = means to ignore the current
    tags and set them afresh to the list provided. The default action is
    adding.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Maybe there is a special case for user "emacs"? Don't know. Will
investigate further.
