But does anyone actually do that these days?
Mail "from: address@hidden", but want replies sent "to: address@hidden"?

"submitter", I think?

It wouldn't really help us here. :(
The debbugs.gnu.org installation is heavily locally patched, starting
from some old snapshot of a development version of debbugs.
The changes were done in-place on the live system, with no real form of VCS.
Obviously this is a Bad Thing. I did not start it, but I have certainly
continued doing it.
I dread the prospect of ever merging in changes from upstream. :(
