Regarding #2: In most cases I would be required to join their mailing list, get a bugzilla account on their specific server, or in some other way pretend I'm some avid fan or developer for the project. If that's what it takes, they'll get no bug reports from me. Just a simple webform or outline in the package docs and I'll be glad to comply with your report formatting requests. Don't make me pretend I have nothing better to do than spend all my days and nights obsessing over the application. I use my Linux computer for work; it's much more than a hobby.
