Well, for example, if the use also specifies --email on the command
line, then it fails, because it tries to authenticate that user to the
smtp host. So maybe that's the real bug?

in ~/.reportbugrc, you just need

smtphost reportbug.debian.org

and that's it (you can also re-run the reportbug configuration menu
and dont enter any smtphost, and r.d.o will be selected automatically,
just follow the instructions)

can you provide an example of how you'd like to have
the documentation updated?

Regards.

It's not very clear from README.Users what options precisely the user
should use to submit via reportbug.debian.org. At least I just spent
some minutes trying and failing to help a new user to do so.
