I think we can draw some inspiration from Mozilla's use of Bugzilla and particular the format they are encourage users when submitting a bugreport:
1) Steps to reproduce 2) Expected result 3) Actual result 4) Reproducible (by bugreporter): always / sometimes 5) Version information, extensions installed, database used (this information is dependent on the skill level of the bugreporter and maybe we can add make this information easily retrievable if it's current not easy to determine. So maybe we can paste these 5 steps (or something similar) in the initial form used to file a bugreport. This would increase the quality of bugreports and make it easier for bug triaging.
