My major problem with reportbug-ng was that is is very hard to
configure -- at least, I could not get it to use my preferred MUA; it
has a limited selection of what it considers acceptable user agents,
and if you are not using it, then you are out of luck.

ps: for the record, I use emacsclient + gnus-mail ; and have managed
to configure iceweasel to use that as well; but reportbug-ng is less
configurable
