`M-x report-emacs-bug' is also for enhancement requests.

But instead of (nil nil) you might prefer
`(,(point-min) ,(point-max)).  This use case:

(interactive
  (let* ((regp (use-region-p))
         (st   (if regp (region-beginning) (point-min)))
         (en   (if regp (region-end) (point-max))))
    (list st en)))

And then there are the cases where you want to
ignore the value of `use-empty-active-region'
(i.e., use `region-active-p' instead of
`use-region-p').

`interactive' with string arg is OK, but often
isn't TRT.  It can sometimes be clearer to just
define a function that does what you want, and
use that with (interactive `(,@(DTRT))).
