Package: reportbug
Version: 3.8
Severity: wishlist
As you know, we always just type some character here when asked:
Please briefly describe your problem (you can elaborate in a moment;
an empty response will stop reportbug). This should be a concise
summary of what is wrong with the package, for example, "fails to send
email" or "does not start with -q option specified."
> d
as we intend to fix it later in the editor.
Then we forget to fix it in the editor.
Therefore, if you would allow blank, instead of
>
No subject specified; stopping.
The problem would be fixed.
I mean you still have the check
No subject found in message. Please edit again.
so there is no worry.

I agree: who's using reportbug should be able to summarize the problem
in few words, and can correct the title in the editor, if he finds a
better subject while writing the mail body. Hence closing.
