Hello guys,
sorry if this email is coming so late, but anyhow now I'd like to cut
off the new release of reportbug, version 3.99.0, to experimental in
the next few days (optimistically, tomorrow or even this evening).

Below is a draft for an announce I'll publish on planet.debian.net
once released (and/or NEW is passed):

>>>
 - Bits from the reportbug side of Debian -

Things are evolving under the hood for reportbug, and we are preparing
a version targetted for squeeze.

The version 3.99.0 has just been released (and now sits on NEW, so any
ftp guys willing to ACCEPT it is welcome :) ); the main goals for this
release are:
- separate python module to support the mail programs (reportbug & querybts)
- GTK2 ui, to be more user friendly; many thanks to Luca Bruno
(lethalman88-gmail-com); please test it a lot, and Luca will be
pleased to fix any bugs :D

Other goals we'd like to archive for the 4.0 vesion (for which 3.99.x
are the pre relases) are:
- SOAP bts quering
- switch to python-apt for packages information retrival (but
python-apt needs better doc!)
- code refactor

Since this is a development version, you can experience some
bugs/regressions, so please try it, stress it and "reportbug
reportbug" :) ! You're help is really appreciated.

Please let me know if it's ok for you (no reply means I'm releasing)
or if we need to add some other news to the announce.

Cheers,
Sandro
