If the user submits the form there could be made use of modern technics that are also used for recognizing spam and viruses in order to find out if a bug just typed in (the summary) is already reported. The new module could count words, try to compare sentences and special fields. As a result the user could be given some results with a probability of similar bugs. If a bug is recognized as a duplicate and approved as such, it could be added to a database like it is done with spamassassin (like salearn --spam). With this technique the amount of already reported bugs could be reduced. I would suggest taht this module is tested external or cleary marked as experimental interface. Also for searching bugs Bugzilla could present existing bugs that look similar. As there is a huge amount of data in many Bugzillas I can imagine that testing this modules can be very easy. It should use different tests also like spamassassin that all provide some hint. If we combine this feature with a translator this could also result in the possibilty to enable users with different native languages that can not write in english to provide more helpful feedback.

I addition the module could ask questions after the summary is submitted. I would expect that the existing bug reports get more editorial . SO that a good bug reports uses the correct words for each function. The questions of the module could ask for unkown words like: "What do you mean with 'message pane'?" and give possible alternatives that are extended with each confirmed choice like * A: maybe 'side bar' ? * B: ....
