hi bugs.d.o maintainers,
this thread (which now became this bug) started with wondering why bugs
in packages in $suite-backports should not be reported to the BTS.
See message-ID <20180504210620.ga26...@gpm.stappers.nl> and follow-ups on
the backports list, it's a short thread :)
https://lists.debian.org/20180504210620.ga26...@gpm.stappers.nl for those
reading this online.

I've just checked and there's no bug against bugs.d.o with "backports"
in it's title, thus filing one:
bugs.d.o should not inform maintainers about bugs in bpo versions if the
bpo-uploader is not listed in maintainers or uploaders. It should
however mail that uploader.
