You're in the "automatically accept" list, so your messages should go through to the bug tracker without moderation. But I don't see it in the debbugs-submit archive. Strange; I'll investigate. Some of your criticisms boil down to "the bug page displays too much information which is distracting to users". Fair enough, I'll take a look at whether we can hide some of this information. (Though, to my eyes, the average Emacs bug page is a lot less intimidating looking than, say, than average Launchpad bug page, which has about ten times the number of "angry fruit salad" links, so tastes clearly differ.)
