Re: Some changes in python-debianbts

[Bastian Venthur <venthur@debian.org>]

Dear reportbug maintainers,

I believe this PR should be all that's needed:

  https://salsa.debian.org/reportbug-team/reportbug/merge_requests/32

unfortunately I can't really run the tests as it is tricky to install
the dependencies in a virtualenv.


Cheers,

Basti
