Apart from the prefil it should be possible to do this using IFRAME or
FRAME. The advantage is that we can inline the actual form from
savannah, and the disadvantage is that we use frames. While I hate
frames I hate duplicate maintenance even more...

Another alternative is to have a webpage a www.gnubg.org that can be
called from Help->Report bug:

Report bugs
===========

Introduction:
-------------

There are two ways to report bugs or request new features in GNU
Backgammon. You can either use the bug tracker or send an email to the
GNU Backgammon mailing list. 

If you opt to use the GNU Backgammon mailinst list you may be asked to
add the bug or feature request to the bug tracker. This will typically
happen if nobody fixes it right away, or it's to difficult to fix and is
postponed.

Please read the submission guidelines below before you report a bug.

<submission guidelines a.k.a. weekly remainder>

Report the bug:
---------------

<a href="mailto:address@hidden>GNU Backgammon Mailing list</a>

<a href="http://savannah/blah/blah";>Bug tracker</a>
