Or offer the choice - via an option.

For the second one, maybe provide a key that
deletes that info, as opposed to making users
find, select, and delete it.

FWIW, 7 years ago I wrote some simple extensions
to `emacsbug.el', which I use and make available
as `emacsbug+.el'.

(I suggested such extensions for Emacs, but there
was no interest.)

1. There's an option that lets you choose which
   fields to include by default, when reporting
   a bug: `ebp-report-emacs-bug-included-fields'.

2. There are individual commands to insert each of
   the various fields, so you can easily include
   any that you don't choose to include by default.
   Most are bound to keys with prefix `c-o'.

   `ebp-insert-all'
   `ebp-insert-features'          (`C-o f')
   `ebp-insert-load-path-shadows' (`C-o l')
   `ebp-insert-major-mode'        (`C-o j')
   `ebp-insert-minor-modes'       (`C-o n')
   `ebp-insert-recent-input'      (`C-o i')
   `ebp-insert-recent-messages'   (`C-o m')
   `ebp-insert-settings'          (`C-o s')
   `ebp-insert-version'

`emacsbug+.el' is here:
