I agree that an automated system for bug reports would be nice...
but the bugs still have to be treated by a human non-automaton ;^)

So I am afraid that I agree with Basile: before anything else,
it is important for us to have a reliable way of reproducing the bug.
After that, we need as much information as possible.

Best wishes, --Joris
