What this points out to me is the miserable way that Bugzilla works as a
whole.  Basically, we ask end users to provide data that a lot of them
don't have the knowledge to find.

This is a place where a desktop tool that provides data about 
the system, plus knowledgeable bug triagers, could add a *ton* of 
value.
