Different issue.  Binding a key to Reporting Bugs is not for the user
who strokes it, but for the developer who reads the reports.

The problem is that this is not very discoverable; I would guess that
the people who know where to find it don't actually need it.
Furthermore, the need for a quick link will decay rapidly for most
users.

Speaking of redundant bindings (C-h m ...)

Why there?  That has the same problems as above (except that links
aren't a scarce resource).  The link should be in the blurb that
appears when you invoke r-e-b, where it is obviously useful and
usefully obvious.
