I just gave a more deep look at the possibility to integrate GNU debbugs installation into reportbug (and sadly it's not so positive). Reportbug used (since a few days ago) screen-scraping to create the bugs list for a given package and to extract the information of a bug. This screen-scraping was done exclusively taking debian debbugs as example, that has some differences with the GNU ones. We just moved to a SOAP interface to avoid silly problems with web scraping, and I don't think there's anyone in the reportbug team willing to tune the "old" scraping code for GNU debbugs (and what if there's another installation with some little differences? and so on). The easiest solution is to activate (if possible) the SOAP interface on GNU debbugs, so that we can easily merge the current setup with yours. IF this is not possible, we're sadly unable to help you - you'll have to find someone willing to tune the reportbug web scraping code to parse GNU debbugs pages and feed reportbug correctly. Sorry I can't help you more.
