Thanks for confirming :-).

Paul has contributed some change that would have multiple X-Debbugs-CC
headers honored, which is in review [0].  If it ends up merged into
Debian's Debbugs, it could be nice to have our GNU Debbugs instance
synced with a current Debbugs version including the change.

I'm not sure what's the status of this endeavour, but Noam's excellent
initiative to make the GNU Debbugs copy available in a public repository
and rebase it to upstream seems to have been last updated in 2019 [1].
