See bug #897 and friends.

If someone sends a mail to both "123 <at> debbugs" and "bug-gnu-emacs" (or
"emacs-pretest-bug" or "submit <at> debbugs"), debbugs should detect this,
and not enter the subsequent mail in the database twice, nor send it
out twice to the bug list.

Message-id tracking might be the "right" way to do this.

A simpler way might be header checks, discarding the mail sent to the
generic address if a bugref address is also present. This assumes both
mails will arrive, which could be risky.
Added tag(s) wontfix. Request was from Glenn Morris <rgm <at> gnu.org> to control <at> debbugs.gnu.org. (Thu, 28 Apr 2016 19:47:01 GMT) Full text and rfc822 format available.
