I prefer something like bugzilla, yes, but having an http gateway to
reportbug is an option I would use more that the application itself,
unless it presents the same errors or instabilities. And adding this
"addon" to make reportbug allows posting via http or standard protocols
will make that possibility even more easy to implement in a future.

Since when having options is something bad? An http gateway would be a
great step forward (you could report bugs from any machine in the event
the one you have to report against cannot even be booted) and the above
report demonstrates the needing of alternatives to the usual reportbug
system.
