Including private or semi-private information (such as installed fonts, IP
address, user-agent string, referring web page, etc.)? While some
information can definitely be helpful to resolving a bug, there are privacy
(policy) considerations to make as well. It's bad enough that Bugzilla
currently requires using your e-mail address (which ends up getting spammed,
for the record).

As Mark has hinted at (or even directly said), a bug filing wizard in a
MediaWiki extension seems like the way to go here. I suppose we should have
a bug about writing that....
