In our Mozilla QA Bug Writing Guidelines at:
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html
we suggest that bug writers use the following template when submitting a new
bug.

Client QA (and several CPD engineers who feel this would be extremely
beneficial) would like to have this template be placed into the Description Area
of New Bug Entry page.  Could this be done in a way that folks can type in
between the section titles and customize as needed?

No, no, God, no.

I'm sorry.  Not all things that the bug system are used for fall into this kind
of template.

And all this extra verbiage just makes it that much harder to read a bug and
understand what the point is.

Bugzilla's appeal is simplicity.  This is complexity.

Ok.  We'll just go with encouraging folks to make a New Bug bookmark with this
info.  That should work.  Thanks.

a misunderstanding; not what i had meant.
I would still like to see this.  Directing folks to help pages/forms is good.  
But putting request for info directly im the bug has proven to work the best 
from my 12 years QA, problem database experience.  Would still like this 
considered by mozilla staff please.
This has been remedied by cbegles great Bugzilla Helper.  Marking Fixed via 
that solution ;-)  .
