`reporter-submit-bug-report' doesn't seem amenable to easy amendation.
The function where the mail headers get inserted into the mail buffer is
the result of "(get mail-user-agent 'composefunc)".  At this stage, we're
deep inside the Emacs mail functionality.

I don't think it's worthwhile making such a large change just to get
debbugs error numbers onto CC Mode bug reports.  But if somebody else
were to make this change, I'm sure CC Mode could use it.  Patches
welcome.  ;-)
