It really depends on what you want to report.  Several people already
gave you advices about possible locations, depending on what you're
reporting.  Error in sizes, timeouts, etc, should really be reported
to whoever is hosting the servers you're downloading from and/or the
people responsible for deploying the mirrors.  Package/file conflicts
is about packaging, so should be reported to whoever is doing that.
The md5 deprecation warning means you're using a newer Python, and
that's something that should be fixed in Smart itself, so this list
and/or Launchpad are good enough.
