I can see your point, that reporting these things are not as easy as 
they could be. On the other hand, as Olav also said, I don't think it is 
worth the overhead to develop another tool. Furthermore, (as I also 
wrote in your survey) I'm not particularly interested in what you refer 
to as "drive by bug reporting" and so, requiring users to register 
before they report a bug helps to filter those out, though we do 
probably also filter to much.
