Hi Friedemann,

good initiative! The text looks mostly good. Some minor things I just 
fixed myself.

In addition, some wording is outdated. We neither have Trolls nor 
Merge-Requests anymore.

And then there's a logic problem: The text demands to attach files with 
a name containing the bug's number while creating the report. This is 
not possible as you won't know the number before you created the report. 
Instead, the text should recommend to attach such files in a second 
step, after creating the bare report.

Thanks,
Robert
