Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
When I use reportbug I get frustrated that I can't easily see a list of all the bugs I have reported.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I check the bugreport on email...

   * What was the outcome of this action?
Following up bugreports via mail can be a bit tedious...

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
If reportbug is started without parameters it should present a list of packages you already have reported bugs on.
It should also display their status.
It would be nice if I the reportee could cathegorize bugs in "important", "overdue", "forgotten" or something simmilar independent from the real bugreport.
That way I can easily keep an eye on bugs that are important to me, it would also be easier to add info to exsiting bugs in case you forget about them etc...
For example if a package is updated a bug may be resolved but not marked as such.
