If he's OK with it, technically there's no real problem in doing this as long as people are made aware that Don's server is a contrib effort that will move to a canonical URL later. Another possibility (the one that I've used with our experimental tracker) is to have debbugs.gnu.org as an alias for Don's server until the content has be duplicated on the FSF's host. That typically requires a bit of configuration on Don's part so that the virtual server stuff works, but that's all.
