If I can make a suggestion... I use the 'bugzilla' command-line
utility often to file bugs, because it's fast and easy compared to the
Web browser.  So for example:

$ bugzilla login  # Then enter BZ username and password, makes a
  	   	  # cookie that's used from here on out...

$ bugzilla info -c 'Fedora Documentation'  # Tell me the components
  	   	   	   		   # in this product (only 
					   # if you don't know which)

$ bugzilla new -p 'Fedora Documentation' -v 'rawhide' \
  -c 'security-guide' -s 'Security Guide missing foobar' \
  -l "Looking at Security Guide, en-US 0.2. It doesn't have
  a reference to foobar.  Patch forthcoming."

The bug number spits back out to you, and you can visit it to attach
your file, which itself is a very fast operation nowadays, especially
since some HW and DB upgrades.
