The long-term goal of > switching to SOAP would likely make this trivial. There is now a merge request on salsa that will make reportbug/querybts also list bugs that affect the target package: https://salsa.debian.org/reportbug-team/reportbug/merge_requests/51 However, this small change does not solve the other problem already hinted at above: By default reportbug shows the list of bugs belonging to the source package of the target package, while "affects:" are more likely to be set for binary target packages. Really showing a more complete bug list by default would therefore require a different approach.
