Any such frontend must not be worse than reportbug at actually
gathering information and providing real contact information for the
submitter. I personally don't think one for submission will ever be as
useful as reportbug, which is why I've never worked on it myself, and
why I've marked #277744 wontfix.

I'm not averse to helping out, but you'll pretty much end up working
with me or someone else with an owner@b.d.o hat to actually implement
it anyway.

This feature has to be implemented as an add on module to debbugs or
entirely separately. It can use the Debbugs:: modules if it must, but
it really should pull any information it requires using the soap
interface so it doesn't have to run on b.d.o.
As far as submission, it should just operate by actually sending mail
to a debbugs instance.
In any event, the appropriate place to discuss this sort of thing is
debian-debbugs@lists.debian.org, not really here.
