According to https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#tag the plus is
optional.
Once again, my question was, should a valid Control: header on the first
line of an email message sent to ###-d...@bug.debian.org work, and if
so, is the reason why it didn't work in my case because the MIME part it
was included in was base64-encoded, and if not, what other reason could
explain why it didn't work?
I did find this here <https://wiki.debian.org/HowtoUseBTS> after I
emailed the list:
QUESTION: Can you do all the control-server actions by using fields
in a pseudo header in an email to bugnumber@b.d.o
<mailto:bugnumber@b.d.o> or do you need to use control@b.d.o
<mailto:control@b.d.o>?
ANSWER: You need to use the explicit control@ mail copy, automatic
parsing isn't done. From what I understood it's worked on but it
might take a bit to make it reliable and not catch something it
shouldn't.
So, if this is correct, then I apparently what I tried to do just
doesn't work. :shrug:

It should work if the syntax is correct. The + character was missing.
