If I'm not mistaken, the crashmail debian stuff was maintained by RJ Clay (as was most FTN related debian packages), who hasn't been around in at *least* 2 years, and a small search does show someone with his name unfortunately passed away on October 28, 2021. The bug report may not go anywhere for you if he was the only person with read/write access. You may want to try one of the forks (or create your own) and proceed from there. Just an FYI.

Regards,
Nick
