Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.1
Severity: normal

This is a regression in 7.1.1:

% DEBFULLNAME="t'est" DEBEMAIL="test at example.com" reportbug reportbug

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return iface.user_interface()

    fromaddr = utils.get_user_id(self.options.email, self.options.realname, charset)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/utils.py", line 316, in get_user_id
    addr = email.utils.formataddr((realname, email))
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'utils'

Reportbug fails with both an apostrophe in DEBEMAIL (when formatting as t'est
<test at example.com>) or in the separate DEBFULLNAME variable.

I noticed this as my surname has an apostrophe.
