Hello.

Just as a suggestion, but feel free to ignore and close this bug, I
would like to see reportbug use the [singular they][] instead of the
"he/she". As in:

'RFA' :
"This is a `Request for Adoption'. Due to lack of time, resources, interest or
something similar, the current maintainer is asking for someone else to
maintain this package. [-He/she-] {+They+} will maintain it in the meantime, ...
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
'RFH' :
"This is a `Request For Help'. The current maintainer wants to continue to
maintain this package, but [-he/she needs-] {+they need+} some help to do this,
                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
because [-his/her-] {+their+} time is limited...
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks for considering,
