Message #5 received at submit@bugs.devuan.org (full text, mbox, reply):
Package: reportbug
Version: 7.5.3+devuan3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Trying to report #474 and #475 at devuan I got problems with reportbug
and the lacking possibility of forwarding a bug upstream. If I compare
the webinterface of gitlab/github for issues with reportbug and the
webinterface I judge the devuan/debian solution as some steps behind.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I used the link at https://wiki.debian.org/reportbug-by-mail to have a
workaround to report an upstream bug to debian.
* What was the outcome of this action?
It worked.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
An easier and faster solution to report bugs, forward bugs upstream and
a project independent solution and standard for bugs. If a bug is referred by #bugnr
it should be replaced by a link in the webinterface.
Don't get me wrong, the bug reporting system is working, but it lacks
some features I got used to from other systems. The feature of creating
bugs offline and reporting it using a slow connection is still valuable.
## Some buzzwords I would like to see supported:
* a project independet XML standard for describing a bug
* forwarding a bug upstream/rejecting downstream
* connecting two bug reports on different server as if it was one
* splitting and joining bugs
* support for markdown
* webinterface with and without user registration
* support for offline/dial-in connections
* the choice to replace mail by XMPP
* white- and blacklist for the bug server of other projects to (not)
trust
Maybe the interface from the GitLab CE could be reused.

Message #10 received at 476@bugs.devuan.org (full text, mbox, reply):
* reportbug --browser <package> should open the webinterface for
reporting bugs with pasting the additional data for debugging into
the browser
* if I download and compile a package by hand it would be nice if I
could use the bug reporting tool like reportbug <filename> and
reportbug recognizes that the file isn't covered by a package from
the distribution and searches for a .reportbug.cfg in the current and
all upper dirs and reports the bug to the configured bug server.
Of course the .reportbug.cfg should come with the .tgz file I
downloaded or with the git clone command.
