edittraces.cgi currently asks for
 1) Product 	
 2) Product version   (can be blank, makes comparison test ignore this field)
 3) GNOME version  (can be blank; bug-buddy can't always detect GNOME version)
 4) Complete stack trace
 5) Reason (explanatory text sent to user when report is rejected)
I didn't develop it and haven't yet used it myself; further questions
are probably best directed to Olav or perhaps Andre or Karsten.

Good question.  I have no idea.
