Before Share the pain button comes to Linux OS I don't feel myself comfortable! ;-) So far I found existing Ubuntu's bug reporting a joke -- most of bug reports didn't provide any essential information on the system -- release codename at best... Debian's reportbug is simple and really handy in the way it templates the report for you.

Well, the latest versions of apport actually provide information about the system (release, architecture, kernel, environment, ...) and the bug reports also include a backtrace of the crash which is automagically retraced by a bot (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yasm/+bug/90436 for example).
