This is just a user mailing list. To report the bug, you need to use
the reportbug application in a terminal.
https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting
Do this from the computer with the problem, as it collects various
system data. It will ask about the problem, and also whether any of the
existing bugs to that package are your bug i.e. whether it has been
reported already. At the end, it will send an email to the Debian bug
reporting system, and you will receive an email with the Debian bug
tracking number.
