[Reportbug-maint] Bug#774764: reportbug: Add a way to send kudos to a developer directly

[Antonio Ospite]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

the --kudos option seems to require a package name, but sometimes we
want to send kudos to developers for their general work not only for one
package.

Maybe a way to send kudos to an @debian.org address can be added?

Thanks,
   Antonio
