For what it's worth, it seems to work just fine for me:

  $ reportbug deb-multimedia-keyring
  [...]
  Will use mailto protocol talking to marillat at deb-multimedia.org.
  [...]

  $ reportbug media-player-info
  [...]
  Will use https protocol talking to bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?product=media-player-info.
  [...]


I haven't tried filing a bogus bug for https, but using mailto for one
of my own packages worked flawlessly.
