it is not intuitive *for you*, that doesnt mean that's an absolute
statement for all reportbug users.

no it's not: if you dont read the doc, how are you supposed to know
what the tool supports? just by having an 'intuitive interface'? sadly
that's not enough in every case.

great! start providing patches, else you are just trying to prove
you're right, while tons of other people dont agree/feel the same with
your statements and you're doing nothing concretely to improve that
experience you seem to care so much.

I guess we can discuss this back when you'll be a package maintainer.

Time was spent writing that documentation, so maybe you can be a
little less disrespectful of it and actually read it.

Again, I'm wasting a lot of time with all this replies (which are
really not helping making reportbug any better), time I am diverting
for actual debian work. So refrain for reply any further until you
have understood how reportbug works by reading its doc, and eventually
consult a user-support forum like debian-users mailing list for
followup clarifications.
