I think we can draw some inspiration from Mozilla's use of Bugzilla and
particular the format they are encourage users when submitting a bugreport:
1) Steps to reproduce
2) Expected result
3) Actual result
4) Reproducible (by bugreporter): always / sometimes
5) Version information, extensions installed, database used (this
information is dependent on the skill level of the bugreporter and maybe we
can add make this information easily retrievable if it's current not easy to
determine.
So maybe we can paste these 5 steps (or something similar) in the initial
form used to file a bugreport.
This would increase the quality of bugreports and make it easier for bug
triaging.

There is already some infrastructure for this kind of idea:

I didn't know about this mailing list until a few days ago, but it's a
start
in building the bridge between MediaWiki development and (power-)users.
