No bug here. "mailto" is the URI for email addresses (just as "http"
is for urls). The problem was your including that as part of the
address you were sending to. From the information provided, the
correct address is (simply):

  package-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Email clients and web browsers understand the "mailto" URI and handle
things automatically. When doing a copy/paste you simply need to
strip the mail URI.
