Thanks for your concern. However, I suspect it's misplaced in this case.
haveibeenpwned.com works largely by indexing and scanning public text
sharing sites like pastebin.com. Given the nature of
submit@bugs.debian.org, it's fully expected to show up in lots of
content on such sites.

submit@bugs.debian.org is not an email account with a password, so
there's no risk of password compromise.

What I said about submit@bugs.debian.org applies equally to these
addresses as well.
