This was not a design goal of reportbug-ng. You can always report bugs
via email as described here:

  http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

I just tried to make it as comfortable and easy for the user as possible.

Every mailclient I know stores sent mails in some place (eg "Sent"), so
resubmitting bugreports should not be a problem if necessary. Since
reportbug sent the mails directly (without an email client) it surely
was convinient to CC the submitter, but since reportbug-ng uses a
mailcient it is superfluous, I think.

Hmm, this does not really convince me. If the attacker has the knowledge
necessary to fake an email adress, he surely knows how to send fake
mails to bugs.debian.org directly.

I'll leave your report open as whishlist and may implement an option in
the future if I notice more demand for it.
