As a matter of fact, it would have - the web interface to the BTS could use the same. (I consulted the latter fully, checking for all grave/critical/serious/important bugs, but failed to see the pending bugs down at the bottem. I didn't look through reportbug's output, having done that, but I'm sure there will be some occasion in the future where I'll see reportbug's output and not consult the web interface.)
