I don't think such a change would involve changes to gnus-bug. Have you read the "Using the GNU Bug Tracker" page that Glenn Morris wrote? http://debbugs.gnu.org/Using.html As explained there, the usual way to use the Emacs bug tracker is for it to take over bugs@gnus.org. One problem, though, is that up to now we've only ever set up the bug tracker for @gnu.org mailing lists. ISTR that the list traffic is redirected to debbugs.gnu.org simply via a rule in the FSF mail server, which might not work for handling a non-gnu.org list. Glenn, do you recall the details?
