Btw, this will be `debbugs-gnu-ephemeral-from-tagged'.

You can already issue control messages from existing ephemeral groups in
debbugs, Lars did implement it. I will see whether I could bring it also
to this accumulated group; shall be possible, because the bug number is
always in the subject.

But first I'll wait for a comment from Lars.

Yes, it is a little bit unfortune that we have both local tags (used
here) and user tags (propagated to the server). Should have been made it
more clear in the UI.

By the way, I have customized debbugs-gnu-default-severities to
'("tagged") - always starting with the local tagged bugs.
