How come messages are numbered like Message #5, #10, #15, rather than
Message #1, #2, #3, ...?

You mean like https://bugs.debian.org/1095863 ?

But not https://bugs.debian.org/1095866 which starts with 5 and
has a lot of multiples of 3 in it.

The easier way to figure this out would most likely be to just read the source code.

Is it possible that when opening a bug, the first four messages are administrative in nature and not shown? The first followup then gets
message number 5?
