bts is currently unable to file bug reports via reportbug.debian.org:

$ bts --smtp-host=reportbug.debian.org retitle 1234 "foobar"
bts: failed to open SMTP connection to reportbug.debian.org
(SSL connect attempt failed error:0A000086:SSL routines::certificate
verify failed)

According #debian-devel, this is probably caused by a combination of the
TLS configuration of reportbug.d.o and bug #1029588 [1].

A workaround suggested by Unit193 on #debian-devel is reverting

i.e. removing the branch

     } elsif ( ! $vcn_scheme && $host =~m{^[\d.]+$|:} ) {
       # don't try to verify IP by default
       return $ok;
