I was also bitten by this bug this morning.  Thank you for the bug
report; this spared me quite a bit of head-scratching.

You might run into a conflict over the "email" name, though:

      addr = email.utils.formataddr((realname, email))
  AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'utils'

Other than that, your fix seems to do the trick for me:

  >>> import reportbug.utils
  >>> reportbug.utils.get_user_id()
  '=?utf-8?b?RnLDqWTDqXJpYyBCcmnDqHJl?= <fbriere at fbriere.net>'

Thanks!
