Package: reportbug
Version: 4.8
Severity: wishlist
It is good idea to prepare report on the system where the bug is found. But
if this system can not send mail in any way, there are no convenient ways
to send report from other host. If report was prepared with -p or -o
options then sending from other host using options -i or --body-file, cause
reportbug to ask all usual questions: package name, package version, if
package installed and mandatory subject. This is annoying and waste
behavior, because all these information already included in supplied
report. Please add new option to allow send report without any questions if
it was prepared with -p or -i option on other host.

Sure, and leave the bug list in an unusable state for how long? do you
know how many patches I receive for reportbug bugs? almost none, so
it's not a valid reason to wait when there are workaronds/alternative
solutions.
Anyhow, are you volunteering?

No, not newbies, they should go to users support forums/mailing list.
reportbug is supposed to be used by people that know what they're
doing, so they have skills newbies don't have.
