General Debian • How to change my email in the Debian bug tracking system

Thanks, it says where to send email, but not how to define the bug to subscribe/unsubscribe.:

Subscribing to a bug can be done by sending an email to nnn-subscribe@bugs.debian.org. The subject and body of the email are ignored...
It is also possible to unsubscribe from a bug. Unsubscribing can be done by sending an email to nnn-unsubscribe@bugs.debian.org. The subject and body of the email are again ignored

When searching my mailbox for "Thank you for filing a new Bug report with Debian." I can find several bug reports.

These contains link to a bug web page which shows a
- subscribe link: NUMBER-OF-THE-BUG-HERE-subscribe@bugs.debian.org
- reply link: NUMBER-OF-THE-BUG-HERE@bugs.debian.org
and I could not find unsubscribe :-S though correctly assumed it is this one: NUMBER-OF-THE-BUG-HERE-unsubscribe@bugs.debian.org

So to abandon old email address (and use new one), I guess I would have to
A) redirect mails from old mailbox to a new one (sometimes not possible)
B) let Debian send bug related mails to invalid/deleted mailbox and do not care about bug report replies
C) spend time finding all bugs and subscribing by sending one email for each bug report from new email address and then do do the same for unsubscribing (maybe mentioned unsubscribe link is not correct), each bug unsubscribing requires one more email confirmation.
