Luckily our priorities are Our Users and Free Software, not Bastian
Venthur. Applying David's patch *immediately* means that maintainers
get more useful bug reports that help them fix bugs, and in the end our
users get a better support. I hope you realise that reportbug-ng being
non-functional with a handful of packages means that users will have to
use reportbug to report a bug on these packages. So they will see the
ugly terminal anyway.
I don't think anyone is opposed to rethink the way bug scripts are
handled (even in reportbug) so that they integrate better with the
reportbug-ng interface. But that should not prevent improvements from
happening first. So I suggest you do that right now, or let someone
else NMU reportbug-ng.

Yes, please be nice to your fellow developers. I am sorry you got
insulted, but if you only got insults and no offer to help, that may
indicate something to rethink about your attitude.
