If it's tying in to a proper bug management system, classification could be a powerful addition. This classification could be done by bug wranglers based on the description typed by the reporter. So, I agree, the ease of use should be kept, but if desired, there could be an alternate "Advanced" form where the reporter could add the classification or other details (maybe a spot to optionally add their email address to track the bug status?).
