reportbug should use one of the domain names reserved in RFC 2606 for
examples, such as example.org, for its default "Upstream Author" and
"URL" field values. They're intended to avoid exactly this situation,
where a domain name used in an example turns out to be owned by somebody
unrelated: in this case, "So Others Might Eat".

Thanks,
