Of course - but with detailed instructions what to do next.

Well, I'm happy with reportbug as it is, and can live with occasional
"can't install" reports coming to a package maintainer through somebody
else, who found the problem because the not-submitter asked in a mailing
list or usenet group.

I'm equally happy if somebody writes a _good_ web interface. As long as
I'm not required to use it, I don't even object if it requires an
account.
