Maybe bug writing guidelines specifically tailor-made for compiler test 
cases would be a good idea (e.g. "Make sure if someone else copy-pastes your 
code, it will compile (or fail in the way described).", etc). I find the 
bugzilla guidelines a bit too generic. Another thing is that they could be 
more "in your face" (pre-filled description?); the link at the top is hard 
to notice.
