I believe bug reports should be submitted by people who have a clue what they 
are doing and using. If you lower the barrier such that every user can submit 
a bug with just a single button, the quality of the bug reports decrease as 
well. It causes a lot of duplicate bugs or useless bug reports.

The way it is now, it forces people to think a little bit before they submit. 
Which is in my opinion better. I don't feel that this should be changed to 
something more easier.

An interesting sidenote would be mentioning Likeback [1], which offers a lower 
barrier for submitting bugs and comments, but does not end up in bugs.kde.org 
immediately.

Kind regards,
