Ok, this was the content:

It is NOT clear what a RFP or ITP is about.
It IS clear that reportbug is the name of the tool.
It is NOT clear that wnpp has to be written literally. One could argue
that in the context of the discussion wnpp was the name of the project
to be packaged.

Anyhow, now I gave this command on my ubuntu box:

reportbug -B debian --timeout 300 --email luca.dionisi at gmail.com wnpp

I use 5x the default timeout (found info about it) but the server does
not reply.
After asking the package name and description it waits 300 seconds and then:
Unable to connect to Debian BTS; continue [y|N|?]?

Should I retry at a later time?

Thanks alot.
