Having bug_report actually report bugs is a nice feature.
urlwrite can send POST requests, so in principle, bug_report could
collect the desired fields, submit the form, and give the user a URL
to examine their bug in the tracker.
This would introduce a maintenance burden to keep bug_report
synchronized with the tracker's submission form. For instance, right
now the submission page is asking a captcha (paptcha?) question about
George Orwell, and that question will probably be different in two
years when slow upgraders are still using the soon-to-be-released Octave.
I have just done this successfully:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?29354
There's some other auto-generated form fields, which can perhaps be
identified by some fancy text-scraping.
Comments?
