Sorry, that was not meant as an offence. I (obviously wrongly) assumed
that by beiing the maintainer of reportbug you had collected some
knowledge about the upstream issues (here beiing bug handling).

Well, if that helps you I can sure search for an e-mail adress on
alioth and request them to contact you/this bug.

I can for sure send an e-mail as stated above.

Well, this bug is a wishlist, a feature request. There is nothing
broken. So while I understand your sentiment, I don't agree with
closing it. Debian is not hiding things. Unfortunately there is no tag
in the BTS for "cantfix". As stated initially, this bug is probably
long term.

As stated above, I'll see what I can do but meanwhile I would object
closing the bugs.
