[Reportbug-maint] Bug#594748: reportbug: existing (current) bug reports are not found e.g. python-gammu

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.6
Severity: normal


I have reported a couple of bugs with python-gammu #566261 and #586517.

However, when I just ran:

$ reportbug python-gammu

A quick check of:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=python-gammu

showed the bugs were still there.

Is there any reason that my bug reports were not found when I ran

reportbug python-gammu ?
