I wouldn't mind to add it to the debbugs package. An advantage would
be, that it will be documented in the User Guide.

However, debbugs is located in the GNU ELPA archive, which means it must
be copyrighted to the FSF. Would you agree to sign such legal paperwork?

Jut some minor remarks from cursory reading.

"mail backend"

This might be a problem when adding to the debbugs package. It requires
Emacs 26.1. How strong is the dependency from Emacs 28.1?

What is it good for? AFAICS, you don't have user options or faces, which
could go there. And even if you would have, they could live in the
`debbugs' group.

What I do miss is the intehration of debbugs-gnu-send-control-message
and debbugs-gnu-make-control-message into notmuch. Do you plan this?

Best regards, Michael.
