get_string
response = unicode(response, charset, 'replace')
TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported
This is happening because the unicode object that utils.get_email() returns in
offer_configuration() isn't decoded before being passed as the default kwarg
to get_string(). decoding first (like is done for def_realname) or changing
get_string() to check whether response is already unicode should fix the
problem.
Currently, this prevents reportbug from ever writing out the initial config on
my system.
