Package: reportbugs
Version: 3.45
Severity: severe
Report bug could use wget to POST bug reports via HTTP
Currently it requires either a local or remote MTA. In the old days,
these were ubiquitous. Nowadays, they are rare and going through the
trouble of either digging out the login info for the remote MTAs or
adding, configuring, using and removing a local MTA is an awfully high
barrier.
Wget is part of the core distro as is gpg. MTAs are not.
HTTP 1.1 POST is supported in wget.

No news comes, and (as said before) this "alternative method for
submitting bugs not relying on mails (SOAP f.e.)" should be provided
by the BTS, until then, I'm not going to implement anything in
reportbug. Hence, closing this report.
