Anyone should look into that immediately.
What you show in the screenshot linked is a warning from Microsoft
SmartScreen Filter.
I've reproduced the problem in a Windows machine with Internet Explorer
and Microsoft Edge (if SmartScreen is enabled). I've reviewed the
SmartScreen FAQ [1] and this is what I've learnt:
[1] FAQ: https://feedback.smartscreen.microsoft.com/smartscreenfaq.aspx
* SmartScreen can report sites as "unsafe", if they contain links to
malicious software. Maybe somebody reported our BTS as unsafe because
they found spam in a bug report, and Microsoft has tagged the whole BTS
as "potentially unsafe".
* However, I see no such links to malicious sites or spam in the bug
report that you sent to us (#780392), so I assume it's a false positive
of SmartScreen.
I've just reported the site as "safe" to Microsoft. This can be done in
the same screen where the red warning is shown, as explained in the FAQ:
Q: "One of the sites I visit is being flagged by SmartScreen Filter, but
it's not an unsafe website. What can I do?".
* You can also include bugs.debian.org in the list of safe websites for
SmartScreen (more details in the FAQ, Q: "Can I customize a list of
trusted sites for SmartScreen Filter in Internet Explorer?")
* For the Debian side, in each bug report webpage there is a link at the
end to "Send a report that this bug log contains spam". I encourage you
to use that link to report spam if you find it in the BTS, but as I
noted above, this issue looks like a false positive of SmartScreen, not
a problem in the Debian bug tracking system.
Thanks in any case for caring!
