>Description:
More and more ISPs filter outbound SMTP traffic these days, causing PRs to be queued indefinitely. The send-pr tool gives no indication that the report is stalled.
It would be preferable have the send-pr tool submit PRs using a web service instead of SMTP.

Maybe we should add a prompt to send-pr like
"This needs a working local mail setup. If you do not send mail
from this machine, please use the the web form at
http://www.netbsd.org/send-pr
instead.
Do you want to (c)ontinue sending the PR, (a)bort and use the
web form, or (n)ever ask you again and proceed..."
And then store a flag in ~/.send-pr indicating the third choice.

(I don't mind an alternative transport, but mail is well suited for this
type of application; though the silent failure in case of a broken setup
is not good)

NetBSD is still running Gnats 3 (why? Gnats 4 has been out for > five
years) -- no ~/.send-pr here. Yes, I agree it would be nice to be
able to parameterise send-pr's operation more.
