[py3porters-devel] Porting reportbug to Python 3

[Sandro Tosi]

Hello,
no need to work on reportbug just yet (the porting will be done by
reportbug maintainers) what needs to be done is porting the
dependencies, mainly python-debianbts - you might want to dedicate
your effort to that.

Regards,
Sandro
