Any objection to a new C-h C-b binding, to jump to the "Reporting Bugs"
section of the manual:

  (1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
  (2) how to write a useful bug report and what information it needs to have.
  
! You can read the read the Bugs section of the manual from inside Emacs.
! Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info, then m Emacs RET to get to the
! Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET to get to the section on bugs.
! Or you can use the standalone Info program in a like manner.
  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution, not part of the
  Emacs distribution.)
