RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Try editing the libreport.aug lens, changing:
let option = [ key ident . value_sep . value_to_eol . eol ]
to:
let option = [ del /[ \t]*/ . key ident . value_sep . value_to_eol . eol ]
(In reply to Richard W.M. Jones from comment #1)
Thank you for the tip. We are going to do this:
- let value_sep = del / = ?/ " = "
+ let value_sep = del / ?= ?/ " = "

Oops, I didn't realize that this issue is about trailing white spaces.
How to test:
1. Install libreport version libreport-2.1.11-34.el7
2. Run augparse withtest_libreport.aug
* in libreport repository
$ augparse augeas/test_libreport.aug
* with downloaded test_libreport.aug file https://github.com/abrt/libreport/blob/rhel7/augeas/test_libreport.aug
Another way how to test the bugzilla:
1. set the configuration file the same way how it is described in the Bugzilla's description (Step to reproduce)
2. run following command:
$ augtool print /files/etc/libreport/plugins/mailx.conf/Subject
$ augtool print /files/etc/libreport/plugins/mailx.conf/EmailFrom
$ augtool print /files/etc/libreport/plugins/mailx.conf/EmailTo
