Reducing existing test cases is something that anyone can do.
Maybe bug writing guidelines specifically tailor-made for compiler test cases would be a good idea (e.g. "Make sure if someone else copy-pastes your code, it will compile (or fail in the way described).", etc). I find the bugzilla guidelines a bit too generic. Another thing is that they could be more "in your face" (pre-filled description?); the link at the top is hard to notice. -- Tomek
