[Reportbug-maint] Bug#775777: reportbug: unable to send kudos but able to report bugs

[Kamaraju Kusumanchi]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.6.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I tried to send kudos to the zsh maintainers using "reportbug -k" , the
process works fine until the last dialog where it says,

Connecting to packages.debian.org via SMTP...

At this point, the blue bar just moves left and right and ultimately times out.

I confirm that the problem is not with the SMTP, since just minutes ago, I was
able to report a bug ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775771
)

Here are the uncommented lines in my ~/.reportbugrc
