reportbug, a command-line alternative for reporting bugs

Hi Matthew.

Interesting article. Recently I was reading the "debian-reference" manual, provided as a package in debian, and for reporting bugs in it it was suggested to use a command-line tool called "reportbug".

I found a broken link on the documentation, and installed reportbug to reprt it. It is a command-line interface, but it does more or less what you are saying, querying the debian bugzilla for the open bugs on the package I was reporting, and providing the tools to send an e-mail for the developer.

Maybe this package can be used as the starting point for a smooth user experience for reporting bugs, what do you think?
