Supposedly we will want our traffic to still flow via
pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org, so the trick of grabbing the bug number from
the To address will not be available, will it?

Hmm, I guess we could have the bug form addTo: NNN@bugs.postgresql.orgCC: pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org
as headers, which should work for most people (since we reply-all), Josh
Berkus being the exception.
