Bug Description
Similar to the project and package bug guidelines it would be useful if the field.comment text area with text were prefilled with required "keys" as a reminder to reporters what information is necessary. For example, for malone it would look like:
URL of the page with a problem:
This might also facilitate the searching of bug descriptions for information. I've written a greasemonkey script that does but I don't believe the people who would install the script are the same people who need the reminder.

I'm not really sold on this idea, because I think that if we want fields we should provide real fields, and otherwise we should rely on the bug reporting guidelines. The advantage of this solution is that it's really easy to implement, and if it's going to make a difference for Ubuntu, we should consider doing it anyway, with the option of improving it with a more structured approach later on. Another compromise we should consider is providing this only for Ubuntu, and deciding on whether to make this into a general facility based on the experience.
