Reading through http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/Reporting I don't see any reason that would hinder us to setup a simple web page for filing bug reports with a browser. The same applies to creating an emacs interface. > Second: IMO, it is complex. Look at what you are expected to read just > for sending a bug: > > http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/Reporting=20 I disagree. The page explains in length what you should consider when writing a bug report at all, the package, its version, a descriptive subject, how to assign the bug to the correct component, etc. If you specify these informations on a web page or you have to write some pseudo headers in your mail makes no such big difference.
