Before this is implemented, it should be discussed with Debian.  They
are likely to have an opinion about how and whether this is
appropriate.

See also my comments in

et seq.  Sending messages with information about fixes, rather than
ones with information about bugs, is less dangerous.  However, doing
so from LP will still require consent.

If Launchpad does this without prior consultation I foresee a massive
flamewar.
