Amen.

So - I suggest we create a wizard / web flow for bugzilla that demands
lots of information: system details, exact versions, warns against
filing bugs in truly old versions, and so on; so that we get a lot of
the information we need in the 1st pass.

Completely agreed. I think we can use bugzilla for the data storage
here though; but I love the idea.
The great thing about bugzilla, is that (I think) we can I suspect,
prototype & write much of this flow without actually needing to tweak
bugzilla in anyway - simply by submitting a more fully formed version.
I for one, would applaud the effort :-) lots of low-quality bugs with
no response in them only create problems, and needless work AFAICS.
HTH,
Michael.
