The prospects of getting reporters to do that are just about zero.

The proper solution is to fix the software (bugzilla), the release needs 
to be a multi-valued[1] field with whatever code changes that requires.


1 I don't even know how well the backend database supports this, I know 
for many years relational theory forbade it. OTOH ADABAS, which I 
supported in the early 80s did do multivalued fields (and repeating 
groups) and could index them. OTOH it made no pretense of being relational.
