I think Stefan didn't only mean a stack trace, but an actual instruction
how to reproduce this. VM configuration, what actions to take, etc.

In fact, I will add that we will probably want a qtest case as a
regression test anyway, and tests are always great for describing how to
reproduce a problem, too.
