So long as the subject contains "Bug#12345", the end result is the same,
the "to:" address doesn't matter.

I don't think this is possible. Mailman, which adds the List-Post,
doesn't know about debbugs and cannot vary the header.

IMO it is generally inappropriate for automated processes to add Reply-To.

If you just do a normal reply to a bug comment, everything should work
fine.
