It should already be there. Did you try using --no-check-available? In any case reportbug is not supposed to hang indefinitely in such cases. Would you mind testing if https://salsa.debian.org/reportbug-team/reportbug/-/merge_requests/63/diffs makes it time out as intended? There is also a --timout= parameter where you can set it to something other than the default 60 seconds. Thanks!
