I remarked on this before: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-06/msg00315.html

It seems that I don’t get follow-up emails to bug reports I submitted unless
people explicitly put me in CC (presumably by reply to all in the original email
thread). I’ve failed to answer follow-up queries to a number of bugs due to this;
assuming this doesn’t affect only me, this seems to be quite bad for dealing with
bugs effectively.

Recent example: I did not receive Guillaume’s first reply in
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=38469

Related: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=5439 (against debbugs).

I might report this against debbugs itself instead, but to me the bug is more
“the Guix bug tracker doesn’t send follow-ups” rather than the specific debbugs
issue. E.g. fixing this by using a different bug tracker would be great! :)

I’m not sure what the problem is.  Could you bring it up on the
help-debbugs <at> gnu.org mailing list?

Thanks,
