Don't know that we can't. I just don't know enough about how it works,
but I presumed that it's only setup to work for mailing lists @gnu.org.
An "easy" solution would be to add yet more forwarding hoops:
gnu-emacs-bug@gnu.org and *@debbugs.gnu.org would first be sent
over to emacs-debbugs-internal@gnu.org where we use GNU's listhelper
moderation and that list would have a single subscriber which is the real
"submit@debbugs.gnu.org" (which later on re-forwards to the subscribers
of gnu-emacs-bug@gnu.org.

That sounds backward: it would make a lot more sense (efficiencywise and
codingwise) to pass the emails through spamassassin before handing them
over to Mailman.
But the main point is that it's not just SpamAssassin: it uses a set of
human moderator-volunteers, and they get to share acceptance/rejection
rules across all lists.
The current debbugs moderation is pretty taxing in human time, because
of the enormous amount of spam that it gets.
