Dear Maintainer,
Currently bts only support mutt as an mua or configuring sendmail. reportbug has more options like using reportbug.debian.org as SMTP server, choosing between installed mua like thunderbird or choosing xdg-email).
If we can use --smtp-host=reportbug.debian.org, that already helps a lot, but it does not support sending mails to
control@bugs.debian.org
$ bts --smtp-host=reportbug.debian.org user
debian-release@lists.debian.org bts: failed to set SMTP recipient
control@bugs.debian.org
()
If we request reportbug.debian.org maintainers they might allow sending to
control@bugs.debian.org as well.
Since people using thunderbird (or another mua) already maintains smtp server configurations in thunderbird (or another mua), having to configure it again for bts does not make sense - especially since reportbug already allows reusing an already configured smtp server via choosing preferred mua.
