Well we need to corner down issues into a much more specific level somehow.

Not specific to one tracking system.

Done ;-)

What are you suggesting then?

Solution to that problem is fixing the darn client interface like 
bugbuddy and the messaging system like XMLRPC to gather information from 
system hardware when bugs are filed. No amount of fiddling bugzilla or 
any other bug tracking system is likely to help there.
