	FTR, – the Message-Id:s are broken not just for
	news:gnu.emacs.bug alone, – news:gnu.emacs.help shows exactly
	the same issue (see, e. g., the example I’ve posted earlier
	[1]), and presumably the same applies all across the gnu.emacs.*
	groups (or perhaps even all the gnu.* ones.)

	Naturally, the gmane.emacs.* groups do /not/ exhibit this issue,
	so it’s certainly not something inherently impossible to fix.

	If the issue with news:gnu.emacs.bug is specifically its
	(lack of) integration with the BTS, – it should still be
	possible to deduce the bug report to add the incoming articles
	to (or the address to forward to) based on either References:,
	In-Reply-To:, or (perhaps preferably) the Subject: field.

	(The latter is, incidentally, how some other bug trackers –
	like, say, RT – behave.)
