That depends on how the "easier" works. Email address only is for me a big no-
no as it means that the user cannot add attachments, which is quite important 
in the case of a crash trace.

Also it *must* be clear to the user that they are interacting with a web 
software and not sending an email to a person. This is something I see again 
and again, that users are not aware of that.

if the backtraces go to a special system where I don't see the dups, I'm all 
fine. If they go to bugzilla I want less and I mean it. The number of 
duplicates is a real problem and costs us lot's of time and work. I don't want 
to see anything done to make it easier.

And no, we cannot expect users to recognize a duplicate crash, That's too 
difficult, we can also not expect users from recognizing whether a backtrace 
is useful.
