So, I think the answer is something like:

I think a combination of BB and humans would work.  For some classes of
ill-formed submissions, BB would be able to send an error response to
the original sender.  But BB will accept some subtly-wrong submissions
and forward them to the list, and humans will have to fix those.

I don't think splitting the incoming mail up by project would help with
the problems you're describing.  If I were to set up such filters, they
would use the contents of the message to decide which mailing list it
belonged to.  Bundle Buggy itself already uses the contents of the
message to decide which mailing list it belongs to.
