Suzan,
It sound like you would be a great resource in making this
happen. Now all we need to do is get a clear mandate from the board
(important) and some programmers. When is the next board meeting? We
should get this on the agenda.

Exactly what Charlotte said.
OSM and HOT are going through a monumental change. A huge influx of
3000, 4000 new to OSM people. We want them to continue to contribute
and because we want them to stick around, we owe it to them to make
everything about OSM and HOT as easy-to-use as possible.
Convoluted workflows requiring new login and passwords, searches,
and instructions that are scattered, all of that has to change as we
grow into this new sized, new era of "anyone can help". Anything we
can do to make the experience intuitive and a no-brainer we need to
do as good hosts. Either we welcome all these enthusiastic people,
or we stay a small, insular, insider's club where diverse
contributers find a difficult if not impossible terrain.
For now your instructions would be great on an interim page people
get when reporting an issue, inbetween the Task Manager and Github.
Usability! We all need to think about how to make it easy! It's
challenging and interesting to figure out the simpliest, easiest way
to do something on the web!
As this is one of the things I do professionally, I would love to
make a proposal through a sample website working on a team with programmers.
Thinking of Dan in Montana who left after one day because he was
frustrated with OSM.

Carl,
It's very nice that you spelled out the steps, but
you're not getting it. We can't make ordinary mappers go
through those steps just to submit a problem report.
They need a link to a single page that has the words
"Problem Report" at the top. They fill in the blanks and
hit "Submit."
Otherwise, we'll lose them. They'll just give up, and
we'll never know what issues are happening.
