Hi,

when we will have reportbug ready (hopefully very soon), the only
thing that a generic user will have to do is:

reportbug <package_name>

A BTS is not yet-another-discuss-platform for users. We have discourse
for that. And we have dev1galaxy. A BTS is a place where bugs are
reported, traced, and (hopefully) solved. It is mainly controlled by
developers, not by users.

Debian has used the very same system for the last 20+ years. They have
managed some 840K+ bugs. All Debian users are acquainted with the
style of those bug reports.

And to be clear once and for all: I am not in love with debbugs. I
believe we need something that works first, and then we can improve on
that.
