Debian-Installer report-template



Hi d-www folks

Debian installation reports are a good way to get user feedback for d-boot.
At the moment the user either has to use the template on his debian maschine,
or to type in the whole report by hand into his email client.
In case of an unsuccessful installation, the first choice often isn't
possible.

Because of that I thougt about providing a better debian-installer
report-template webpage:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/report-template.en.html

Is it possible to make this page a form which sends the corresponding email
behind the scenes?

Or could we at least provide an enhanced mailto: Link under
submit@bugs.debian.org?

Something like this (in one href line :-):
"submit@bugs.debian.org?subject=[<platform>][<version or date>][<installation
%20type>]&body=Package:%20installation-reports%0D%0A%0D%0A

I know this syntax isn't supportet by all browsers, but for those who can use
this, it will definitely be a help on providing installation reports.
