Thanks for pointing that out.  I had not seen that before.  And it is useful 
there.

However, that page is entitled, "How to report a bug in Debian using 
reportbug".  It would be valuable to document it on https://www.debian.org/
Bugs/server-control entitled "Introduction to the bug control and manipulation 
mailserver" as users are unlikely to be searching for information about how to 
manipulate an existing bug on a page with instructions on how to report a new 
bug.
