Automating it involves:

* Teaching the spam-checking on gcc-bugs that gcc-bugzilla is another name 
for that list, so it can accept mails with just gcc-bugzilla in the 
destination headers.  (As it presently accepts mails for bug-gcc@gnu.org.)

* Having Bugzilla put gcc-bugzilla in the To: header (as well as the From:  
header) but really send the messages to gcc-bugs instead (as the headers
and where the message really goes are entirely independent).  So the
headers from which a mail reader might take addresses to reply to wouldn't
mention gcc-bugs at all.  But this might not be something Bugzilla is
designed to make easy to do.
