[Reportbug-maint] Bug#614366: reportbug: Not possible to provide extra information to wnpp bugs with reportbug -N

[Adrian Glaubitz]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.12.6
Severity: normal

Hi,

I recently tried to supply extra information to a package which I had
reported as ITP using the wnpp package. However, it turned out that
it is not possible to provide additional information to a bug through
its bug number when the affected package is wnpp, i.e. using the
command "reportbug -N <bug number>". Instead, wnpp starts its usual
script asking for the type of wnpp (ITP, RFP, O and so on) instead
of simply spawning the editor to provide additional info. reportbug
should be changed such it is possible to provide extra information
to a wnpp bug when reportbug is invoked with the -N option.


Regards,

Adrian
