I thought reportbug was fixed, but I don't know for sure. I always use email to report bugs.
Send email to bugs@devuan.org
Subject line should be descriptive
First line of bug should have:

Package: <packagename>

And then the body of the email with explanation of the problem.

It's also not a bad idea to report the problem here first, in case it's not really a bug.

Instructions are here: https://bugs.devuan.org/Reporting.html
