Orphaning reportbug-ng
After more than two years without an update, I've decided to discontinue developing reportbug-ng and orphaned the Debian package. Since reportbug is a more than adequate alternative and reportbug-ng's popcon value is relatively low, it's probably the best to just remove the package from the archive.
I started developing reportbug-ng 11 years ago as a user-friendly alternative to Debian's standard reportbug. Not only did it come with a nice GUI that allowed for easy searching and filtering of existing bugs, it also queried our bug tracking system (BTS) using its SOAP interface. Back then, reportbug used to parse the human readable HTML from the website to get the same information.
A couple of years later Debian's reportbug got a GUI too and became a lot more novice-friendly.
