be possible to use reportbug to mark the bug as forwarded upstream, or
at least provide a suggestion to mark the bug as forwarded upstream,
along with a link to instructions such as those found at
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control

simply because there is no standard way to do that.

Because I don't think it's purpose of reportbug to copy all the BTS
documentation; you can find that from [1] you can come to [2] that
explains Forwarded is the pseudo-header to be used to forward a bug
upstream at submit time. In reportbug, we have README.Users explain
how to add pseudo-headers. That's all I think we have to do.
[1] http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting
[2] http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting#additionalpseudoheaders
That's said, I'm closing this report.
Regards,
